    Tarah Dorothea Probst is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, representing the 189th District since 2023.[1]

    Biography

    [edit]

    Born in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Probst graduated from King's College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications in 1992 and from Widener University's School of Law with a Juris Doctor in 2003.[1]

    From 2015 to 2022, she served as mayor of Stroudsburg; as a part-time mayor, she also worked as a regional outreach coordinator at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.[2] She previously owned a restaurant with her husband and spent many years in business marketing.[3]

    In 2018, she unsuccessfully challenged Republican incumbent Mario Scavello for Pennsylvania's 40th Senate District, receiving 42,396 votes to Scavello's 54,783.[4]

    When State Representative Rosemary Brown ran to succeed the retiring Scavello in 2022, Probst ran for Brown's seat and won with 56% of the vote, defeating Republican Steve Ertle.[5]
