Jacob Doyle Corman III (born September 9, 1964) is an American politician who served as the president pro tempore of the Pennsylvania Senate from 2020 to 2022.{{cite web |last1=Owens |first1=Dennis |last2=Montag |first2=Madison |title=Jake Corman Reflects on Long Pennsylvania Senate career |url=https://www.abc27.com/local-news/jake-corman-reflects-on-long-pennsylvania-senate-career/ |access-date=1 December 2022 |work=abc27 WHTM |date=November 30, 2022}}

He was a member of the Pennsylvania Senate 1999 to 2022, holding the same seat his father, Doyle Corman, previously held. A member of the Republican Party, he was majority leader from 2015 to 2020, and president pro tempore from 2020 to 2022. Corman represented the 34th Senate District, which includes all of Centre, Mifflin and Juniata Counties and portions of Huntingdon County, and includes State College.

In the lead-up to the 2020 elections, Corman and other Republicans in the state legislature refused to implement changes that would allow Pennsylvania officials to process mail-in ballots before election day. As a result, counting of ballots in Philadelphia took several days, leaving it unclear for days who had won the 2020 presidential election. After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Donald Trump refused to concede while making false claims of fraud, Corman called for an audit of the election in Pennsylvania and called on Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar to resign. He supported Republican efforts to obtain a wide range of data and personal information on voters to pursue claims of fraud.

In November 2021, Corman announced he would be seeking the 2022 Republican nomination for Governor of Pennsylvania. He withdrew from the race on April 12, 2022, but then re-entered the same day. He dropped out again on May 12, endorsing Lou Barletta.

From May 17, 2022 to May 23, 2022, Corman served as acting lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania while Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman recovered from the implantation of a pacemaker.

Personal

Corman was State Director for Central Pennsylvania for United States senator Rick Santorum from 1994 through 1998.{{cite web| title = Project Vote Smart - Senator Jacob Doyle 'Jake' Corman, III (PA)| work = Project Vote Smart| url = http://www.votesmart.org/bio.php?can_id=23839}} He was Field Service Director for the Pennsylvania Builders Association from 1993 through 1994.{{Better source needed|date=May 2019}}

Career

In 1998, Corman's father, Doyle Corman, a Pennsylvania state senator for 21 years, announced his retirement from the Senate. Corman announced that he would run for his father's seat. During the three-way GOP primary, Corman was attacked by the other candidates for a 1995 drunk driving conviction, as well as his admission to experimenting with marijuana in the 1980s.{{cite news |author=John Stabinger |title=Corman, Conklin left standing for 34th State Senatorial District race |url=https://panewsarchive.psu.edu/lccn/sn85054904/1998-06-12/ed-1/seq-1.pdf |work=The Daily Collegian |date=1998-06-12 |access-date=2020-02-22}}

In 2002, Corman was re-elected with over 92% of the vote, facing only minimal opposition from a Libertarian Party candidate.[http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=13&ElectionID=7&OfficeID=12#34 Pennsylvania Department of State, Election Returns, 11/5/2002] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080515034232/http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=13&ElectionID=7&OfficeID=12 |date=2008-05-15 }} In 2006, Corman defeated Democrat Jon Eich, Robert J.

Prior to the 2020 election, Corman and other Republicans in the state legislature refused to implement changes that would allow Pennsylvania officials to process mail-in ballots before election day.

In January 2021, Corman and other Republicans in the Pennsylvania Senate refused to seat incumbent Jim Brewster who won a close reelection against his opponent who refused to concede the race. Even though Brewster's election victory had been certified by state officials. The Republican majority then had Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman removed from presiding over the Senate and installed Corman in Fetterman's place.{{cite news |last1=Couloumbis |first1=Angela |last2=Fernandez |first2=Cynthia |title=Pa.

Political positions

In 2017, Corman sponsored Senate Bill 1, a pension reform legislation that was enacted.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2017/12/14/pennsylvanias-historic-pension-reforms|title=Pennsylvania's Historic Pension Reforms|date=December 14, 2017|first=Greg|last=Mennis|website=The Pew Charitable Trusts|access-date=2019-05-07}}

Corman, as well as former Pennsylvania Treasurer Rob McCord, sued the NCAA, seeking to reverse sanctions that the athletic association imposed against Penn State after the Penn State child sex abuse scandal.Marc Levy, [https://apnews.com/article/e58e94d498e249cca7411779a5d566f6 Lawmaker: NCAA should fire chief over Penn State sanctions], Associated Press (February 11, 2015). In a settlement, the NCAA lifted the sanctions against the university. The lawsuit initially aimed to require Penn State's $60 million fine to be spent on child abuse prevention in Pennsylvania, rather than across the U.S., but the suit later morphed to challenge the legality of the sanctions themselves.Jan Murphy, [https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2015/01/sen_jake_corman_declares_victo.html Sen. Jake Corman declares victory over NCAA with repeal of its sanctions on Penn State], PennLive (January 16, 2020). Corman accused the NCAA of unfairly singling out Penn State and said that the sanctions were "extremely damaging to my community"; the NCAA responded that Corman was seeking to politicize the NCAA's safety efforts.

While Corman voted for Pennsylvania's medical cannabis program, he is against both the decriminalization and legalization of cannabis in Pennsylvania. He believes cannabis is a gateway drug.{{cite web |last1=Levy |first1=Marc |title=Pennsylvania wants to hear from you on legalizing marijuana |url=https://www.mcall.com/news/pennsylvania/mc-nws-pennsylvania-legalizing-marijuana-20190124-story.html |date=January 24, 2019 |website=The Morning Call |access-date=8 May 2019}}{{cite web |last1=Orso |first1=Anna |title=State GOP chief Jake Corman on a higher minimum wage, medical marijuana and why he loves Uber (Q&A) |date=March 25, 2015 |url=https://billypenn.com/2015/03/25/state-gop-chief-jake-corman-on-a-higher-minimum-wage-medical-marijuana-and-why-he-loves-uber-qa/ |website=Billy Penn |access-date=8 May 2019}} He stated that: "I will do everything in my power to prevent legalization of recreational marijuana."{{cite news |last1=Cole |first1=John |title=PA Senate Majority Leader Says He Will Do "Everything" In His Power To Prevent Legalized Recreational Use of Marijuana |date=December 21, 2018 |url=http://www.politicspa.com/pa-senate-majority-leader-says-he-will-do-everything-in-his-power-to-prevent-legalized-marijuana/89895/ |access-date=20 February 2019 |publisher=Politics PA}}

In 2018, Corman was the prime sponsor of an anti-hazing bill (Senate Bill 1090), which was signed into law later that year as Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law (Act 80). The law, which passed the Pennsylvania Senate unanimously, strengthened anti-hazing laws.{{Cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/fa5a4bfb3e8741de9c3459245ae4a64f|title=Anti-hazing law named for Penn State student heads to governor|date=October 15, 2018|agency=Associated Press|author=Mark Scolforo}}
