Candidate for
State Senator; District 13

Lloyd Smucker isn't a career politician. He's a successful businessman, lifelong resident of our area and concerned citizen who thinks it's time to change the way Harrisburg does business to finally get results on the issues our families care about most.

For 25 years, Lloyd ran Smucker Company - a family-owned business that he grew from a small, four person company into an industry leader employing 145 local residents. As a businessman, Lloyd proved his ability to serve and lead people, create jobs, overcome obstacles, make tough decisions, meet a budget and much more. Since selling his interest in Smucker Company to his brother in 2006, Lloyd has worked as a business consultant helping a start-up company bring alternative energy technologies to the marketplace.

Lloyd is also a local official, having twice been elected by his neighbors as a West Lampeter Township Supervisor. In this role, he showed that by applying real-world business experience to government, positive results can be achieved. He has managed growth, safeguarded farmland and improved services in one of Lancaster County's fastest-growing municipalities - all without raising property taxes.

Committed to making our community even better, Lloyd is an active volunteer who gives his time to numerous local civic organizations. He is the Chairman of the Lampeter-Strasburg YMCA Building Capital Committee, the former spokesperson for the Willow Street Community Group and a former Council President at his church, where he continues to be active today.

Active in Republican politics as a State Committee member and local volunteer, Lloyd has been a leader in the effort to reform state government. In 2006, he worked for and supported successful reform candidates for state legislature across our community

Married for 16 years, Lloyd and his wife Cindy are raising three children: Paige, age 12, Regan, age 10 and Nicholas, age 5. They have attended Zion Lutheran Church for the past 18 years and reside in West Lampeter Township. Lloyd is a lifelong resident of Lancaster County who graduated from Lancaster Mennonite High School.
