Biography

[edit]

Santoni was born in Reading, Pennsylvania, to Dante and Carmella (née Cagnetti) Santoni.[2] He graduated from Muhlenberg High School in 1978, and earned a B.S. in accounting from Villanova University in 1982.[3] He then worked as a field representative and loan officer with Southeast Farm Credit Service until 1983. Between 1984 and 1992, he served as finance director, township secretary, and commissioner in Muhlenberg Township.[3]

Santoni was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on November 3, 1992, and was sworn into office on January 5, 1993.[2] He has subsequently been re-elected nine times. Following the death of state Senator Michael O'Pake in 2010, he briefly ran for the Democratic nomination for the 11th District but withdrew in favor of Judy Schwank, a former Berks County Commissioner.
