Eugene A. DePasquale is a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He represents the York City based 95th State House District. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, DePasquale graduated from Central Catholic High School. He later earned a bachelors degree from the College of Wooster, an M.P.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, and a J.D. from Widener University School of Law.

DePasquale, after meeting Tracey Secrest, moved to York in 1997. Before running for office, he worked for a variety of government institutions and elected officials, including a stint as legislative director for State Senator (now Congresswoman) Allyson Schwartz. He also served as Director of Economic Development for the City of York, as well as a Deputy Secretary for the State Department of Environmental Protection under Governor Ed Rendell. He is a former chair of the York County Democratic Party.

When incumbent State Representative Steve Stetler resigned from his seat and withdrew from the ballot during the 2006 elections, DePasquale announced his intent to replace him. The York County Democratic Party selected him as their replacement nominee, and, on election day, he defeated Republican nominee Karen Emenheiser 58.3% to 41.7% [http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/ElectionsInformation.aspx?FunctionID=13&ElectionID=24&OfficeID=13] .
