Perry Warren, incumbent candidate for the 31st Legislative District, did not respond to a request for an interview. Following are excerpts from his website.
Warren is a Democrat running for reelection as state Representative for the 31st Legislative District, which includes Lower Makefield Township, Newtown Borough, Newtown Township, Yardley Borough and Morrisville Borough Wards 1, 2 and 3. Perry was elected to the General Assembly in 2016.
Warren was first elected to Newtown Borough Council in 2009 and was reelected in 2013. During his seven years on Newtown Borough Council, he was recognized as a “bridge builder,” committed to bringing members of both political parties together to forge workable solutions to serve the community.
He was instrumental in reviving the borough’s Environmental Advisory Council. He helped write the borough’s non-discrimination ordinance, which outlaws discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and he supported the Newtown Common Open Space Project. In addition, Perry served on and acted as a liaison to numerous committees, including the Police Committee, the Environmental Advisory Council and the Shade Tree Commission.
He has practiced law since 1993 and in 1998 co-founded his law firm, Maselli Warren, P.C., where he has represented individual, small business and estate clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Also, Perry started an ice cream truck business when he was 19 years old and continues to operate it as a small, family business.
Warren has served on the board and as chairman of the board of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and has served as an officer of The Compassionate Friends and the Young Entrepreneur’s Organization.
He graduated from Colgate University and received his law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law. He and his wife, Liz, live in Newtown Borough and have five children.
