Career.
David Hummer Rowe earned his high school diploma from PA Homeschool in 2009. After graduating from homeschool, Rowe was a Christian missionary educator throughout Southeast Asia. While based in Taiwan, Rowe attended National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU), but has not disclosed whether he completed any specific program during his NSYSU experience. After returning to the states in 2010, Rowe established LBG Fitness Inc., a CrossFit gym.
The East Buffalo Township Board of Supervisors selected Rowe to succeed Michael Daniloff in March 2018. After Fred Keller vacated his seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives District 85 on May 24, 2019, Rowe contested the open seat. This necessitated Rowe's resignation from his East Buffalo Township post, in which he was succeeded by Jim Murphy. Rowe secured the Republican Party nomination, and defeated Democratic Party candidate Jennifer Rager-Kay, as well as write-in candidate Clair Moyer. Rowe was sworn in as a member of the Pennsylvania House on September 17, 2019. In January 2020, Rowe announced that he would seek reelection. No opposing candidate filed by the deadline to challenge Rowe's incumbency. He defeated Democratic Party candidate Katie Evans in the 2020 general election with a winning vote percentage of 68.2 percent vs 31.8 percent, within one percentage point of the Republican/Democratic affiliation breakdown of the 85th district.
The representative's term has not been without some growing pains. Rowe has been reported to block individuals who criticize or question his statements and policies on social media. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rowe posted a photo on social media Thanksgiving Eve with a drink in hand after 5 P.M. as a response to COVID state-level mitigation techniques.
