STATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY GUENST
Pennsylvania’s 152nd District
Service: U.S. Army
Nancy is an Army veteran and the first female mayor of Hatboro, PA. She grew up the youngest of five children in a working class family, and from a young age her mother taught her the importance of giving back to her community.
In 1976, Nancy entered the US Army and honorably served her country at Field Station Berlin as an analyst and German translator. As a veteran, she understands the challenges that veterans face in life after service. As a PA state representative, she will fight to protect the state’s veterans and will push to secure more funding for veterans’ healthcare and benefits.
In 2007, Nancy felt a calling to public service and ran for Hatboro Council, the governing body for her hometown, which had been controlled by Republicans for decades. She won and served two terms before running for Mayor in 2017. When she won, she became the first female Mayor in Hatboro’s history.
Nancy has been married to her husband, Steve for 25 years and has one son, Alexander.
