PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pennsylvania House Representative Mike Reese (R-Westmoreland/Somerset) has died of an apparent brain aneurysm.
Reese had recently been re-elected in the November 3 general election as Representative of Pennsylvania’s 59th district, which serves parts of Westmoreland and Somerset counties.
He was first elected to the Pa. House of Representatives in 2008, taking office in the 2009-10 legislative session.
Reese served as the Pa. House Republican Caucus as caucus secretary during the 2019-20 session and was elected to serve as chairman of the caucus in the 2020-21 session.
He died Saturday afternoon at Excela Health Westmoreland Hospital with his family by his side following the apparent brain aneurysm.
In a statement, Pa. House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff said:
“On behalf of the entire House Republican Caucus, I extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Rep. Mike Reese.”
“More than a friend to all of us, and one of our caucus leaders, Mike was a devoted husband and father. His wife, three young children and extended family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
“I have known Mike since he took office in 2009 and have been proud to witness his many legislative accomplishments, especially his tireless work on behalf of Pennsylvania’s students and families. Mike was a model legislator who thoughtfully put his constituents first. His spirit, presence and counsel will be sorely missed.”
On December 7, Reese tested positive for Coronavirus.
Reese, a native of Mt. Pleasant, graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School before attending Duquesne University where he received a Bachelor’s degree and Seton Hill University where he received a Masters degree.
He is survived by his wife Angela and three children.
Reese was 42 years old.
That’s for sure. Dying in both US Congress and State Houses.
prayers for family....
but everything anymore is indeed suspicious.
Wonder if he was on any aspirin Rx? Maybe time to resume the 81mg baby aspirin regimen every other day.
baby aspirin is part of the protocol on texags site as long as not contraindicated
i presume because of the body throwing clots with Covid
Ian Fleming.
He was a Republican too.
The leftist DemocRAT governor of Pennsylvania will TAKE HIS SWEET TIME in calling a special election to fill the seat.
They sure are and I am sadly suspicious.
I believe you may be mistaken.

Yes...many coinkydinks.
They sure are. That’s 3 very recently. Not a democrat at all.
Actually 3. One in Colorado, one in Virginia and one in Pennsylvania.
Remember when the hacker claimed the bad guys could zap a person remotely and he was going to tell people how it is done at a convention the next week? Guess what - they nailed him a couple of days before the convention. He was in his thirties.
Here we go: “Barnaby Michael Douglas Jack (22 November 1977 – 25 July 2013) was a New Zealand hacker, programmer and computer security expert.[1] He was known for his presentation at the Black Hat computer security conference in 2010, during which he exploited two ATMs and made them dispense fake paper currency on the stage.[2] Among his other most notable works were the exploitation of various medical devices, including pacemakers and insulin pumps.[3]
Nothing in that paper that mentions aneurysm. Not all cerebral hemorrhage is aneurysm related. While I appreciate everyone trying to to teach me neuropathophysiology I’m good for now.
Chafin was a Republican, and it looks like he was a hefty guy.
“Has Hilary figured out how to weaponize this?”
I’m starting to suspect that the Democrats are on Ivermectin, while the rest of the country is forced to deal with the virus.
They’ll likely start bragging about their scheme in a year or so, after the virus is contained.
So you’re a brain surgeon, too? 🤪
No but I treat a lot of strokes and have had extensive courses in anatomy, neuroanatomy, physiology and pathophysiology. Your clinical experience?
Think that is the 3rd Republican since the election that won and died.
