Description
Lisa M. Boscola is a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, representing the 18th Senate District which includes portions of Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe counties. She is in the Democratic Party.
Boscola is a resident of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of Bethlehem's Freedom High School and Villanova University, from which she holds both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in political science.
After college, she worked briefly as a court clerk before entering politics. From 1987 to 1993, Boscola was a Northampton County deputy court administrator. She first won a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1994 and served two terms. In 1998, she won a seat in the state senate and was re-elected in 2002, 2006, and 2010.
In 2005, Boscola briefly considered switching to the Republican Party after she was blamed for the defeat of a Democratic candidate for State Senate. During a 2005 special election in a neighboring district, the Democratic candidate, Jennifer L. Mann ran ads attacking her Republican opponent, Pat Browne, for two drunk driving convictions. Boscola, who had a drunk driving arrest herself in 2000, strongly criticized Mann for the ads.
