Phyllis Mundy

Who is Phyllis Mundy?

Phyllis Mundy is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and minority chairman of the House Finance Committee. She is a graduate of Kingston High School and Bloomsburg University. Prior to her time in the State House, she was a French teacher, the manager of a multimillion dollar manufacturing facility during the 1980s, was heavily involved with the Junior League, was President of the Wilkes-Barre chapter of the League of Women Voters, and served on the Luzerne County Property tax reform commission in the late 80s.

A current and longtime resident of Kingston, Pennsylvania, Mundy has represented the 120th legislative district of her state since January 1991. Given that the district, at the time, was 60 percent Republican, Mundy's landslide victory was considered a political upset, as was her enormous reelection victory in 1992.

In her two-decade service as a member of the General Assembly in Harrisburg, Mundy has been a vehement supporter of environmental protection laws and state programs to boost early childhood education. She has earned high ratings from the Sierra Club, an environmental advocacy group that gave Mundy a 100% rating recently, and AFL-CIO, which consistently gives Mundy high marks for her support of working families.
