Aument to Resign Early for McCormick Role

State Senator Ryan Aument from Lancaster County will resign two years early to become U.S. Senator-elect Dave McCormick’s state director, managing Senate offices across Pennsylvania. Aument, who has served as majority whip and is a U.S. Army veteran, was an early supporter of McCormick. His departure opens up a Republican-leaning seat in the Pennsylvania State Senate that Democrats might target in a special election. McCormick narrowly defeated Democrat Bob Casey in the recent election, and this staffing announcement marks his first as he prepares to take office. Aument expressed gratitude for the opportunity and looks forward to supporting McCormick's efforts.
