A lifelong citizen of Franklin County who is deeply concerned and strongly committed to restoring representative government, personal integrity and the public’s confidence in the Pennsylvania legislature, Representative Todd Rock was elected to serve the people of the 90th district in November 2006.
Following in his family’s long tradition of being active in state and local politics and as our Founding Fathers originally intended, Rock firmly believes that holding elected office is a personal sacrifice one willingly makes by leaving his or her profession to serve the public for a finite period of time before returning to private life.

For the 2011-12 legislation session, Todd has once again been assigned to serve on the heavily sought after House Education committee. In addition, Rock will return for his third consecutive term as a member of the House Game and Fisheries and House Judiciary committees to defend the best interests and Second Amendment liberty of Pennsylvania sportsmen and gun owners.
Dedicated to advancing the traditional values that continue to make Franklin County an ideal location to live, work and raise a family, Rock will work hard to enact the following reforms to make government more efficient, cost-effective and responsive to the people of Pennsylvania:
- End automatic legislative pay raises and require that future pay raises be subject to voter approval.
- Reduce homeowner property taxes without taxing food and other necessities.
- Require state lawmakers to contribute to retirement and medical benefits.
- Give the public ten business days to review all new legislation.
- Impose term limits for all State Legislators and reduce the size of the legislature by 25 percent.
- Eliminate the practice of Ghost Voting which allows absent Legislators to cast votes.
Representative Rock’s diverse professional experience provides him with unique, first-hand insight into the business, farming and education issues that continue to impact the local economy and the citizens of the 90th district. Prior to his election to the State House, Rock was a self-employed, home building business owner and also managed his own dairy farm. Over the last nine years, he has worked as an educator preparing the youth of Franklin County for tomorrow’s workforce at both Franklin County Career and Technology Center and Carlisle High School.
Representative Rock resides in Mont Alto with his, wife Nancy, and two daughters, Christina and Jenelle.
