WEST GROVE, PA — In a move that promises to inject fresh energy and innovative thinking into Southern Chester County’s political landscape, West Grove native Cristian Luna announced his candidacy today for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing the 13th legislative district.
Luna, an Avon Grove High School graduate who currently serves as a Deputy Prothonotary in the Chester County Prothonotary’s office, is running on a platform of forward-thinking leadership. His campaign is centered around safeguarding the community’s future, ensuring its safety, vibrancy, accessibility, and affordability for generations to come.
“The choices being made at the state level impact not just our current residents but their children and grandchildren,” Luna stated. “We need new leadership that is not only focused on the present but also committed to bringing innovative solutions for a strong future in Southern Chester County.”
In his professional life, Luna has dedicated his efforts towards guiding domestic violence victims through the legal process. His experience handling sensitive cases with empathy, care, and dignity has shaped his approach to public service. He aims to extend this compassionate, high-quality service to all constituents, especially those who feel neglected by their government.
One of Luna’s key campaign issues is the protection of affordable water, a lifeline service provided by the Chester Water Authority. He criticized current representatives for supporting legislation like Act 12, which has led to increased privatization efforts and higher rates for families. Luna pledged to protect his neighbors’ hard-earned money with his votes in Harrisburg.
As a representative of a community with deep roots in agriculture, Luna has also expressed his commitment to protecting small local farms from threats, including climate change. “Agriculture and farming are the heart of our community and drive our local economy,” Luna said. “The impacts of climate change are wreaking havoc on our local farms, and our current representative offers no solutions. Once in Harrisburg, I’ll take meaningful action to tackle the climate crisis to save our small community farms.”
Luna’s priorities extend beyond these issues, encompassing public education funding, voting rights, and healthcare access. His campaign represents a new generation’s perspective, one that aims to safeguard both the present and the future of Southern Chester County.
The 13th legislative district, which Luna seeks to represent, encompasses communities including Oxford and West Grove Boroughs, and several townships in Southern Chester County.
