About Mike

Michael A. LaRocca is a Republican candidate for State Representative in Pennsylvania’s 116th Legislative District. 

The Primary Election is on Tuesday, May 17th, 2022.

Michael is a lifelong resident of the Hazleton area, and a graduate of Hazleton Area High School.  He is perhaps best known for his time as one of the area’s Snap-on® Tools franchise owners.  Shortly after high school, he purchased a struggling franchise which he was able to nurture and successfully grow into the second largest franchise operation in the world, operating four trucks and servicing thousands of customers.

After his time with Snap-on, Michael spent time in other enterprises, including designing and building offshore performance engines, as well as a brief stint in the financial sector.  Currently, Michael runs a coin-operated amusement company where he provides sales and service to hundreds of customers from near and far.

Having owned and operated small businesses in the area for 20+ years, he has developed a strong personal relationship with the community and surrounding areas.  This position will provide Michael an opportunity to give back to the area, providing the district’s residents with a solid voice representing their needs and concerns in Harrisburg.

As State Representative, Mike will be a strong voice for Seniors and Veterans, for the Second Amendment, for better jobs for our area, and to protect those with pre-existing conditions.  His background as a businessman, his strong interpersonal skills, and his familiarity with our area will ensure we are not forgotten in Harrisburg!
