Republican candidate for Pennsylvania State Representative in the 91st District, Nick Lovell, met with Adams County residents Saturday during a well-attended community meet and greet at the Gettysburg Rec Park.
Lovell was introduced by Dr. Al Moyer, Executive Director of the Gettysburg Area Recreation Authority and Vice President of the Gettysburg Area School Board, who welcomed attendees and spoke about the importance of strong local leadership in Harrisburg. Moyer expressed his support for Lovell’s candidacy, citing Lovell’s energy, intelligence, ability to connect with people, and willingness to challenge the status quo to advance common-sense reforms.
Addressing a crowd of neighbors, families, and community members, Lovell spoke about his personal roots in Adams County and why he believes the district needs a new voice in Harrisburg.
“I’m a sixth-generation Adams County native. These roads, these towns, and these churches aren’t just familiar places to me. They’re home,” Lovell said. “I’m running because Adams County deserves new leadership, Harrisburg needs new accountability, and public service should be a calling, not a career.”
Lovell also spoke about conversations he has had with seniors living on fixed incomes who fear rising property taxes could force them from their homes.
“No senior should ever be taxed out of their home. Not in Adams County. Not in Pennsylvania. Not anywhere,” Lovell said. “We don’t need another study or commission. We need real property tax reform, and we need it now.”
Lovell outlined a broader set of priorities aimed at improving affordability and accountability across state government, including support for young families, education reform, career and technical education, passing budgets on time, and legislative term limits.
Drawing on his experience as President of the Littlestown Area School Board, Lovell pointed to the passage of a school budget without a tax increase for the first time in more than two decades, citing accountability and responsible decision-making as key factors. Lovell also discussed how delayed state budgets create uncertainty for schools and local governments.
“When budgets are late, schools can’t plan, local governments can’t budget, and taxpayers are left in limbo,” Lovell said. “In the real world, deadlines matter, and they should matter in Harrisburg too.”
Lovell closed the event by encouraging attendees to stay engaged and involved in the campaign.
“This campaign isn’t about me,” Lovell said. “It’s about seniors who built this county, families raising kids here today, and the next generation that wants to stay right here in Adams County. Together, we can bring a new voice to Harrisburg.”
The Lovell campaign launched three weeks ago and has already begun community outreach across the 91st District. The Republican primary election is scheduled for May 19, 2026.
