Career


Ryan served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, retiring as a Colonel in 2005 with 34 years of service. He commanded 4th Civil Affairs Group from 1996 to 1998 during a time when the unit was supporting operations in the Balkans. He received three Legions of Merit, the Bronze Star Medal, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal and various service and campaign medals. Prior to serving in politics, he was a business consultant. He is a Certified Public Accountant and on the audit committee of The Institute of World Politics.

In 2020, Ryan was among 26 Pennsylvania House Republicans who called for the reversal of Joe Biden's certification as the winner of Pennsylvania's electoral votes in the 2020 United States presidential election, citing false claims of election irregularities.[4]

In 2021, he proposed an amendment to a bill whereby only elected officials in Philadelphia, a Democratic stronghold, could be recalled. Prior to Ryan's amendment, the bill allowed for recalls of elected officials statewide.[5]

Ryan currently sits on the Aging & Older Adult Services, Finance, State Government, and Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committees.[6]
