Chairman Brendan Boyle
Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-170) is a second-term legislator who comes to the role of HDCC Chairman after years of working on, managing, and teaching campaigns. Most recently, Brendan played a key strategic role in his brother Rep. Kevin Boyle's historic victory over former Speaker John Perzel, while simultaneously running his own re-election campaign. Brendan is a tireless campaigner, and looks forward to working with HDCC's 2012 candidates to run top-notch, winning campaigns.
The son of an immigrant, Brendan is the first in his family to attend college. He went to the University of Notre Dame, where he earned a bachelor's degree in government and completed the Hesburgh Program in Public Service. He later attended graduate school at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, earning a master's degree in public policy. The Philadelphia Daily News recognized his early promise as a lawmaker, naming him one of politics' 10 rising stars in August 2008.
In addition to serving in the state house, Brendan also teaches at Drexel University's Center for Public Policy. He currently resides in Northeast Philadelphia with his wife Jennifer, an elementary school teacher.
