"The problem is not that people are taxed too little but that government spends too much."

With an MBA and years of experience as the owner of an investment company, Mr. Lorusso brings a strong foundation in financial management and responsibility—qualities essential for the role of large county controller.

Beyond his professional background, Mr. Lorusso has dedicated myself to serving his community. He co-founded groups that saved woodlands from clear-cutting, protecting our natural spaces for future generations. He also established a public advocacy group in Malvern focused on overseeing the budget and pushing for efficient, effective government. These efforts reflect his commitment to fiscal accountability and community well-being.

On a personal note, he is proud Papa to four wonderful grandchildren and has been happily married for 45 years. On his spare time he still laces up his skates to play ice hockey, a passion that has kept him connected to the camaraderie and spirit of teamwork that he values deeply.

The role of Controller is critical to ensuring transparency and financial stewardship in our county. Mr. Lorusso is running because he believes Chester County deserves a leader who will prioritize smarter financial practices, reduce waste, and safeguard taxpayer dollars.

Mr. Lorusso pledges to remain accessible and connected, listening to the needs of residents and advocating for solutions that truly benefit our community.

    "Leadership is about action, integrity,

    and collaboration, and I’m ready to

    bring these values to this position."
