Meet

Rob Bresnahan

Born in Kingston and raised in Wyoming Borough and Hughestown, Congressman Rob Bresnahan learned the value of hard work early, sweeping floors, wiring junction boxes, and running heavy equipment with his grandfather Walt Kuharchik, a union electrician and small business owner. Rob grew up helping out at the family’s bowling alley, playing competitive hockey, and plowing snow for his neighbors before sunrise.

At just 19, Rob became CFO of his family’s third-generation business, Kuharchik Construction. By the time he became CEO, Rob had grown the company’s footprint across Pennsylvania, securing financing to expand operations and support more than 150 working families. Rob later founded RPB Ventures to invest in revitalizing Northeastern Pennsylvania, rehabbing historic buildings in downtown Pittston and creating new opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

In 2024, Rob defeated six-term Democratic Congressman Matt Cartwright in one of the most closely watched House races in the country, despite being outspent by nearly $3 million. His victory flipped a key swing seat in Northeastern Pennsylvania and helped secure the House majority.

Now serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Bresnahan is focused on cutting red tape, defending working families, and delivering results for his hometown region. He currently serves on the House Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Small Business, and Agriculture, where he brings a business owner’s mindset to Washington and fights to restore accountability in government.

A fifth generation Northeastern Pennsylvanian, accomplished businessman, college athlete,
former Chairman of the Joint Apprentice Training Committee and Trustee for the Health Wellness
and Annuity for IBEW 163, and community philanthropist, Rob Bresnahan is completely dedicated to continuing to do what is best for Northeastern Pennsylvania (NEPA). He often states, “I don’t have an ‘R’ or ‘D’ next to my name, just the letters N-E-P-A.”
