Biography

Cook was born on June 29, 1956. He graduated from California Area High School. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College,[2] Cook served two terms from 1986 to 1989 as a Buckhannon, West Virginia councilman.[3][4][5][6][7]

Pennsylvania House of Representatives

In 2014, Cook unsuccessfully sought election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, losing to Democratic incumbent Peter Daley in the 49th District race.[8][9] In 2016, Daley chose not to run for re-election.[10] Cook once again ran for the 49th District seat and won.[11][12] He won re-election in 2018 and 2020.[2] Following redistricting, Cook ran for the 50th District seat in 2022,[5] and won.[13][14] Cook won his reelection in the 2024 Pennsylvania House of Representatives election, defeating Democratic challenger Drew Ross Manko.[15]

Cook's legislative priorities include lower taxes and gun rights.[16] In 2020, he was among 26 State House Republicans who called for the reversal of Joe Biden's certification as the winner of Pennsylvania's electoral votes in the 2020 United States presidential election, citing false claims of election irregularities.[17] He also was involved in a multi-year investigation of Local Share Accounts (LSA) and their use in Washington County.[18]
