James "Jim" Ferlo (born June 19, 1952) is a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate who has represented the 38th Senatorial District since 2003. His district consists of parts of Allegheny County, Westmoreland County and Armstrong County.

Background and Career

Ferlo was born to Italian immigrant parents in the small upstate town of Rome, and credits part of his legislative effectiveness as being one of ten siblings.

Ferlo was a liberal community activist in the City of Pittsburgh before being elected to Pittsburgh City Council in 1987. He served on council for 15 years until his election to the State Senate in 2002. Ferlo served as president of City Council from 1994 to 1997. He currently lives in Pittsburgh's Highland Park section.

A Democrat, Ferlo was elected to the state senate in 2002, receiving 65% of the vote to 35% for Republican candidate Ted Tomson. Ferlo was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2006 in his heavily Democratic district. In that race, Ferlo received 84% of the vote, while his opponent Joe Murphy of the Constitution Party received 16%.
