Herv Breault, 53, a Republican of South Manheim Township has announced his run to represent the 125th District in the State House of Representatives.
Breault, a combat veteran, retired in 2010 after 25 years of service. He served with the 82nd Airborne Division as Paratrooper, Jumpmaster and Artillery Gun Chief. After four years in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard as a traditional Guardsman, he finished his career as an Active Guard Reserve member at Fort Indiantown Gap.
“In 1985 I swore an oath to support and defend the US Constitution. In 1994 I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of Pennsylvania. We need strength and resolve to combat those trying to control our lives and the way we think or express ourselves. Government is too big and intrusive, not what the Founders envisioned,” Breault stated.
Breault says he has lived a diverse lifestyle. “I’ve worked construction and know what it’s like to hump shingles three stories up a ladder in sweltering heat. My path hasn’t been law school then politics. I relate to the everyday Joe and Jane. I’ve been there, done that. As a 13-year-old, I delivered newspapers at 4 a.m. on my bike. Even now, I work part-time in an auto parts store to keep in touch with my car and truck passion.” Breault, is also a partner in a veteran-owned business, he says knows the challenges faced by small business owners.

Breault is strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution and Article 21 of the PA Constitution. “Article 21 states: The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned.” An NRA Life Member, Breault is a certified Basic Pistol Instructor. “Sportsmen and Sportswomen and gun owners won’t find a stronger voice on their behalf.”
Breault is passionate about Vocational Training. “College is great for some. Trade school is best for others. We must champion high school trade schools for students who want to work on cars, construction and the noble trades. Let’s make the 125th District the example for the rest of the Commonwealth.”
As a veteran Breault says he is in tune with the needs of his fellow veterans. “My personal experience with the VA is good. However, we cannot do enough for combat wounded Warriors and those suffering from PTSD, as well as all veterans.” Breault spent several years working alongside the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. “I speak the language of the Military. No other candidate can relate as well. Troops that served with me will attest to my character, work ethic and drive. I know how to honor and take care of Soldiers.”
In 2009 Breault was awarded the Pennsylvania Distinguished Service Medal.
“The 125th District needs a Representative who can relate to them and serve their needs. Mine will be a deep grassroots effort,” Breault stated. “My wife and I moved to her home state of Pennsylvania in 1994 and I fell in love with the Commonwealth. There is nowhere more America than right here. It’s time for me to answer the call to serve once again.”
