Gibson E. Armstrong (born August 28, 1943) served as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate from 1984 to 2009. He represented the 13th District, based in Lancaster. He was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1977 to 1984. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1965 to 1969 and is a Vietnam War Veteran.[2]
His son, Gibson C. Armstrong, held his father's former state house seat from 2002 to 2006, when he was defeated in the Republican primary due to voter anger at the 2005 legislative pay raise. The elder Armstrong had supported, voted for and accepted the pay raise, while the younger Armstrong had taken the pay raise after initially voting against it.
During his career, Armstrong chaired the Appropriations Committee and Banking and Insurance Committees and was a member of the Finance Committee, Labor and Industry Committee, Rules Committee and the Urban Affairs Committee.
Armstrong graduated from Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania with a BBA in Economics in 1965.
