About Robert

Rep. Robert Matzie is a long-time public servant and former Ambridge mayor running for reelection to the Pennsylvania House this November. In his time as a state representative, Robert has been a dedicated advocate for the people, fighting for everything from the preservation of historic forests to the establishment of relief funds during the COVID-19 pandemic to economic relief for working families. Robert is proud to be part of the House’s hard-won Democratic majority and is excited to keep serving his community in a way that balances the needs of every constituent.

Robert has represented his district since 2008. Now, with all 203 seats in the Pennsylvania House on the ballot, he’s ready to help state Democrats protect and expand their majority in the chamber.

Pennsylvania

2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in Pennsylvania by defending our House majority and picking up seats in the Senate.

In 2022, Democrats made gains in the Pennsylvania Senate and flipped the House for the first time in over a decade. The momentum from those wins continued to build through 2025 with a string of special election victories defending a narrow blue majority in the state House, and an astounding upset win in the state Senate that saw Democrats flip a district that supported Trump by a double-digit margin in the 2024 presidential election. 

The DLCC has been on the ground in Pennsylvania cycle after cycle to support state Democrats as we build power in both chambers of the General Assembly.

Pennsylvania remains a true battleground in 2026, and the DLCC and our allies are pulling out all the stops to win competitive races and elect Democrats in the Keystone State.
