Wayne Langerholc Jr. is a Pennsylvania attorney, former prosecutor, and politician. A Republican, he is a senator representing District 35 in the Pennsylvania Senate. Before his election to the state senate in 2016, Langerholc was an assistant district attorney in Cambria County and a township supervisor.[1][2] He attended Widener University Commonwealth Law School in Harrisburg, PA.
Langerholc initially expected to face five-term Democratic incumbent John N. Wozniak, but Wozniak retired just three months before the election.[3] Wozniak was replaced on the ballot by Cambria County controller Ed Cernic Jr.[citation needed] Langerholc benefited from Donald Trump winning the district with 71 percent of the vote, which was Trump's second-best showing in the state.[4]
