Jacob Doyle "Jake" Corman III is a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, where he serves as Majority Leader, who has represented the 34th Senatorial District since 1999. The district includes all of Centre, Mifflin and Juniata Counties and portions of Huntingdon County, and includes State College, home of Penn State.
Corman is a graduate of Bellefonte Area High School, the Pennsylvania College of Technology where he earned an associate degree in Communications and The Pennsylvania State University where he received a BA degree in Journalism.
He was State Director for Central Pennsylvania for United States Senator Rick Santorum from 1994 through 1998. He was Field Service Director for the Pennsylvania Builders Association from 1993 through 1994.
In 1998, Corman's father, Doyle Corman, a Pennsylvania State Senator for 21 years, announced his retirement from the Senate. Corman announced that he would run for his father's seat. During the three-way GOP primary, Corman was attacked by the other candidates for a 1995 drunk driving conviction, as well as his admission to experimenting with marijuana in the 1980s. Despite the minor controversy, Corman prevailed in a three-way GOP primary and went on to defeat Democrat Scott Conklin (now a member Pennsylvania House of Representatives) in the general election.
