The Republican lawmaker will be McCormick’s State Director for his PA offices. Aument said he did not have plans to leave the state Senate until he received the call from McCormick a few weeks ago to be chosen for the position. Aument has tendered his resignation from the PA Senate on December 31st. He was elected to the PA Senate in 2014 and has served as Senate Majority Whip. Aument said he is grateful for the trust placed in him by the voters of Lancaster County.
