Paul Drucker

Paul J. Drucker is a Democrat, and former member of the Pennsylvania House of 300 W 23rd st. He represented the 157th district from 2009 through 2010.

Drucker is a practicing attorney. He has held a variety of positions, including working in the district attorney's office under future Senator Arlen Spector. Drucker has worked as a lecturer, and as a judge pro tem for the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. He is also certified mediator in U.S. District Court, a Hearing Committee member of the Disciplinary Board of the state Supreme Court and a member of the board of directors of the First Bank of Philadelphia.

In December 2005, Drucker won a special election to fill a two-year term on the Tredyffrin Township Board of Supervisors. He was the first Democrat to win political office in the township's 300-year history. Drucker lost his bid for re-election in 2007.

On November 4, 2008, he was elected to the State House, succeeding retiring Republican Carole Rubley. He defeated his opponent, Guy Ciarrocchi, by a margin of 50.9% to 49.1%.

The race was considered one of the nastiest and most expensive in the state. Both candidates launched websites attacking one another. Ciarrocchi, then-Chief of Staff to Congressman Jim Gerlach, attacked Drucker's legal career through a website called "slip and fall Paul". Drucker's campaign attacked Ciarrocchi's political background through a website called "what kind of Guy". In the end, Drucker narrowly defeated his opponent in a count that stretched into the morning following election day.

Drucker was defeated in his bid for re-election by Republican Warren Kampf.
