State Rep. Cook, Bud | Pennsylvania 50th Legislative District
Since taking office, Representative Bud Cook has focused on engaging young people in government and regional development through his Student Advisor Initiative. The program aims to retain young talent in the 50th District after their education.
The initiative involves two students from each school district, tasked with identifying local assets and activities. These findings are then presented to Rep. Cook and his team. In 2025, Cook visited seven out of ten school districts in the district and plans to visit the remaining ones soon.
"Our young people are our biggest asset to grow our communities, and our student advisor program gives them the opportunity to work with their own generation to grow the 50th into a region they are proud to call home," said Cook. "I am thrilled with the input and the hard work of our students to make this program a success."
The 50th Legislative District includes Bentworth, Bethlehem-Center, Brownsville Area, California Area, Carmichaels Area, Central Greene, Charleroi, Jefferson-Morgan, Southeastern Greene, and West Greene school districts.
Students interested in participating can contact Rep. Cook's office at 724-929-2660.
