Jarrett Charles Coleman (b. circa 1990[1]) is an American politician and pilot. He is a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, and represents the 16th District.
Early life and education
Coleman studied to become a pilot at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania and later Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University in Cincinnati, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in aviation and a Master of Business Administration.[2]
Career
Coleman worked as a pilot for CommuteAir, Compass Airlines, and JetBlue.[2]
He was elected to the school board for the Parkland School District in November 2021, running on his opposition to the district's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including remote learning and mask requirements for children — and the teaching of critical race theory.[3]
Coleman successfully challenged 17-year incumbent Pat Browne in the 2022 Republican primary for Pennsylvania's 16th Senate District, narrowly defeating Browne by only 24 votes.[1] He went on to win the general election, defeating Democrat Mark Pinsley.[4]
Currently, Senator Jarrett Coleman chairs the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee,[5] the panel responsible for reviewing proposals to restructure and streamline state government. Coleman is also a member of the Communications and Technology,[6] Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure,[7] Education,[8] Local Government,[9] and Urban Affairs and Housing committees.[10]
