Eight years into his state lawmaker career, Pennsylvania state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie misrepresented his age on a dating profile by nearly a decade, DailyMail.com can reveal.
In March 2020, Mackenzie, a Republican, was messaging women from a Tinderprofile claiming to be 29 years old. He was actually 37.
His family had been in politics for decades at the time. He’d already briefly ran for Congress in 2018 and had represented the Lehigh Valley in the state house since 2012 alongside his mother, state Rep. Milou Mackenzie.
Mackenzie is now locked in a tight race against incumbent Democrat Susan Wild for Pennsylvania’s seventh district.
Mackenzie is now married to wife Chloe and they have a young son. After initial publication, a spokesperson for the Mackenzie campaign told DailyMail.com that Mackenzie was ‘neither married nor engaged’ when the profile was active.
The district is one of the most evenly divided in the country — Biden only won it by 0.6 points in 2020 — and it remains a top target for the GOP. Wild has represented it since 2018.
And Pennsylvania is a critical state in the November election. President Biden won it by less than two points over former President Trump in the 2020 election and Republicans are now trying to to take it back in the statewide races for the presidency and Senate.
Mackenzie’s Tinder profile claimed he was ‘Always down for a good time! Outgoing, funny and enjoy traveling, skiing, trying new restaurants and getting drinks with friends.’
Screenshots of the profile from March 2020 show he messaged one woman, ‘Surviving the pandemic?’
His House biography lists his birth date as August 3, 1982. The dog pictured in his Tinder profile is the same dog he has posted from his social media accounts.
Mackenzie’s profile lists him as a ‘9th generation resident of the Lehigh Valley.’ He served in Trump-appointed positions on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Local Government Advisory Committee and as a commissioner on the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships.

Bet this is the first time anyone ever lied about their age on a dating website… oh… wait…
Democrats lie every time they open their mouth’s and no media to call them even when they to know it is a lie. Yet to lie about age is a crime for republicans. Calling the kettle black right democrats?
Really?! Lying on a dating app is news?! Geez can you be anymore irrelevant with your drama. Let’s look at a real headline like president bought and paid for by China through drug addict son.
Hate to say this…BUT he actually looks gay…like those gay dudes coming from an uptight family that get married and tried to remain in the closet, but end up flaring up when they get the middle age crisis.
Anyway, what kind of losers actually need Tinder to get dates and then are so insecure that they lied about themselves.
Not the kind of leader I prefer. ….instead give me the guy who goes to a laundromat and picks up the wife of a police officer and convince her to have sex. That guy, I respect….
