Matt Cartwright has represented Pennsylvania's 8th congressional district since 2013. A lawyer and former businessman, Cartwright brings a pragmatic approach and a commitment to bipartisanship to Congress.
Born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania, Cartwright graduated magna cum laude with a history degree from Hamilton College and earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, where he was a member of law review.
Cartwright worked as a lawyer in private practice, specializing in commercial litigation and environmental law. He also served as a member of the board of directors of several nonprofit organizations and as a member of the Board of Governors of the American Association for Justice.
In 2012, Cartwright challenged the incumbent Democratic representative in Pennsylvania's 17th district (now PA-08). Cartwright emphasized his background in business and law, his commitment to job creation and economic growth, and his willingness to work across the aisle to get things done.
