Smart fiscal leadership? what Dauphin County needs! Eric Papenfuse, 39-year-old business owner and civic leader, lives in Harrisburg with his wife and three children. The founder and CEO of the Midtown Scholar Bookstore, Papenfuse has created over 200 jobs in Dauphin County in the past decade and currently oversees a diverse workforce of more than 50 employees.

A published author and prize-winning scholar, his teaching and research explore the moral dilemmas of slavery and the fractious national political environment in the years after the American Revolution.
Papenfuse is a strong advocate of small-business entrepreneurship, competent fiscal oversight, and open and accountable government to move Dauphin County forward. He believes those in public service must actively serve the entire community.
