Timothy L. Pesci (June 26, 1944 – September 28, 2016) was a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.
[4] In the 2000 election, he was defeated for re-election by twenty-five-year-old Republican Jeff Coleman, in spite of the district being seventy percent Democratic.
[5][6] Bill DeWeese, the House Democratic Leader, said that Pesci had run a "condescending" race against Coleman, calling his opponent "Jeffy" and describing Coleman's campaign volunteers as "the Children from the Corn," referring to the horror film.
[5][7] Following his defeat, Pesci was signed as a consultant to the Democratic Caucus with a six-month contract worth $30,000.
[5] When Pesci's request for an extension was not granted, he unleashed a "volley of four-letter oaths" against DeWeese, who terminated the contract early.
