Zakery Wiles is a proud Pitt-Greensburg public policy student, community organizer, and State Representative candidate in the 57th District of Pennsylvania. He has called the Greensburg area home since 2018, when his father, a United Methodist pastor, was appointed to serve the Youngwood and South Greensburg churches. Growing up in a working-class family, the values of service, faith, and standing up for what is right were instilled in Zakery at a young age.

After graduating from Hempfield Area Senior High School in 2021, Zakery organized petitions to ban conversion therapy in Pennsylvania, interned on Capitol Hill, and led community projects in his hometown. He believes public service is showing up and fighting for people who feel ignored by the status quo. He has worked part-time jobs, volunteered at local charities, and listened to his neighbors talk about the things that really matter: safe communities, good jobs, affordable health care, and opportunity for every family.

Zakery believes that the district deserves leadership who listens, learns, and leads with compassion. He's running because it's time to pass the torch to a new generation of leaders not with the same political gimmicks, but with real action. He promises to inject energy, transparency, and a commitment to doing the hard work for the people of Westmoreland County.

Together, Zakery hopes to build a future that works for all people, not just the powerful few.
