Zachary Scherer, a Republican from Donegal Township, announced he is running for one of three Butler County commissioner seats in 2027.

Scherer said he is a college graduate, an emergency medical service professional and board president of the Northern Armstrong Emergency Medical Services.

He said he also runs a nonprofit organization that helps veterans and families in need. Through that work, he said he has seen the struggles people and local services face and how much it means to have someone willing to help.

“Butler County has been my home my entire life and I’m proud of where I come from. We have good people, hardworking families and neighbors who show up for each other when times get tough. That’s something worth working for,” Scherer said.

He said his priorities are to make emergency coverage a priority, support first responders, monitor spending and use of tax dollars, support small business, seek investments that bring more jobs to the county, secure funding for infrastructure projects, be available and listen to residents’ concerns.

Scherer said he will work with the district attorney’s office and law enforcement to address the drug epidemic and support prevention, treatment and recovery.

“Our small towns deserve a voice and someone who takes the time to listen. Every part of Butler County matters, and I’ll put in the work to represent the place we’re proud to call home,” Scherer said.
