Munroe started as a volunteer firefighter at age 17, starting a career in public service that included the U.S Navy, local law enforcement, the Warminster Township Board of Supervisors, Bucks County Clerk of Courts, and the Pennsylvania State House.

As current state representative, Munroe has prioritized working families while fighting for reproductive rights, accessible healthcare, open spaces, and an economy that serves its community.

"During my time as part of our Democratic majority, I’ve helped the State House to deliver real wins for working families," Munroe said. "But the potential is there to do so much more, and every year we aim higher.

Munroe said he is proud of his accomplishments in Harrisburg, like the firefighting foam PFAS ban that was recently passed.

"But I’m even more excited to continue our work in properly funding our schools to achieve real relief for local taxpayers, making healthcare accessible for all, protecting our water and air, and making life more affordable across Bucks County," he said.

Election results are unofficial until certified by the Bucks County Board of Elections.

The 144th Legislative District covers Warminster Township, Warrington Township, Ivyland Borough, and parts of New Britain Township.
