State Rep. Cook, Bud | Pennsylvania 50th Legislative District
Since taking office as state representative, Bud Cook (R-Greene/Washington) has focused on engaging young people in government and local growth. His Student Advisor Initiative is designed to keep young residents in the area after completing their studies.
The initiative involves two students from each school district serving on an advisory council. Their task is to identify local assets, attractions, and activities, presenting their findings to Cook and his staff. In 2025, Cook has already visited seven out of the 10 school districts in the 50th District and aims to visit the remaining districts 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,” stated Cook. “I am thrilled with the input and the hard work of our students to make this program a success.”
The districts involved in the 50th Legislative District include Bentworth, Bethlehem-Center, Brownsville Area, California Area, Carmichaels Area, Central Greene, Charleroi, Jefferson-Morgan, Southeastern Greene, and West Greene.
Interested students may contact Cook’s office at 724-929-2660 to participate in the initiative.
