Mahon arrives at Pursuit following a distinguished 33-year career in Pennsylvania state government, including 23 years of service in the Senate of Pennsylvania, where he most recently served as Deputy Chief of Staff and Director of Budget and Finance to Senator Kim L.

Mahon’s Senate career also included service as a Legislative Assistant and Committee Director under former Senator John Pippy and as a Legislative Assistant to former Majority Leader Chip Brightbill. Before joining the Senate, he served as Director of Legislative Affairs at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection during the administration of Governor Tom Ridge, where he managed the department’s legislative agenda and stakeholder engagement.
