JACOB HANNA
MEET
Born and raised in Lake Ariel, I love my hometown and I want to serve you, the people of Wayne County, Pennsylvania.
Growing up as one of four kids, I was taught the value of hard work, determination, and personal responsibility. After graduating high school from Canaan Christian Academy, I worked in Electronics and Satellite Communications for the Department of Defense. That experience made the difference clear: private businesses must live within their means, while government too often operates like resources are unlimited. When I decided the best way to serve was right here at home, I resigned in early 2022 so I could run for Wayne County Commissioner. I ran then because I believed our county needed stronger, more accountable leadership. I believe that even more today.
My wife Grace and I are expecting our first son this Fall. We have a deep, personal stake in where Wayne County is headed—not just because we are raising a family here, but because this is our home. What happens here matters greatly to us, just as it does to everyone who lives here.
As County Commissioner, I will bring strong financial stewardship to our budget, protect our taxpayers, support our county employees, and build a clear path for the next generation to thrive right here at home.
I am asking for your support and your vote so we can move Wayne County forward together.

CORE VALUES
These are my personal convictions that guide how I serve. The Commissioners’ Office does not set policy on these matters.
Pro-God
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. As a Commissioner, I want to serve and govern in a way that honors God. The 1st Amendment is clear about our right to religious freedom and Wayne County cherishes and protects our freedom of belief.
Pro-Life
I am Pro Life. Unborn children deserve the same rights and privileges as those who live outside the womb. I will always fight to give every unborn child the right to live and to be free.
Pro-Gun
I fully support the Second Amendment. It wasn't passed so we could go hunting, it was put in place to defend against a tyrannical government. Therefore, I will always fight for our freedom to protect and defend ourselves.
