He served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate from 1975 to 2006, and simultaneously served as the President pro tempore of the Pennsylvania State Senate and the 29th Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania between 2001 and 2003.

Jubelirer was defeated for re-election in the 2006 Republican party primary election and left office on November 30, 2006.

He is married to Commonwealth Court Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer.

The son of a prominent county judge, Jubelirer attended Pennsylvania State University and the Dickinson School of Law. He also attended Pine Forest Camp. He was admitted to the bar in Blair County, Pennsylvania and practiced law for several years before entering politics.

He was elected to the Pennsylvania State Senate in 1974 to represent the Altoona area. He was elected Majority Leader in 1981. Jubelirer served as President Pro Tempore of the Senate from 1985 to 1992. After serving briefly as Minority Leader from 1992 to 1994, he again became President Pro Tempore.

In a 2002 PoliticsPA Feature story designating politicians with yearbook superlatives, he was named the "Hardest Working."
