ABOUT JOHN BIEL-GOEBEL

WHO IS JOHN BIEL-GOEBEL

John Biel-Goebel is a lifelong builder, pilot, and engineer whose curiosity about flight began when he was two years old and never stopped growing. Trained as an aerospace engineer, systems engineer, materials engineer, commercial pilot, and certified A&P aircraft mechanic, John has spent his career designing aircraft interiors, leading engineering teams, and managing complex aviation programs that push technology forward while keeping safety first.

A proud husband and father, John is married to a brilliant physician dedicated to curing neuromuscular illnesses and is the father of three children under 13 who attend public schools. Outside of work, he’s deeply rooted in service, mentoring high school robotics students, volunteering as a camp counselor for kids with muscular dystrophy, and helping deliver meals to families in need.

John’s passion for public good extends beyond his career: he founded a Philadelphia-based nonprofit to address environmental issues, worked with citizen lobby groups like ProSpace and FIRST to advance STEM and aerospace legislation, and helped craft language that became part of national policy shaping the industry’s future.

His guiding philosophy reflects both his engineer’s precision and his dreamer’s heart:

“To be good is not enough when you dream of being great.”

WHY IS JOHN BIEL-GOEBEL RUNNING

John Biel-Goebel is running for the U.S. Senate because he believes the nation has reached an inflection point, one where trust, integrity, and pragmatic problem-solving must return to government. For more than two decades, John has led complex aerospace programs where failure meant lives and safety were on the line. In that world, accountability, precision, and teamwork are non-negotiable, and he wants Washington to operate the same way.

He isn’t entering politics to join a party; he’s running to rebuild trust in the system itself. John’s campaign centers on three pillars:

Restoring constitutional checks and balances

Reforming government structures so power can’t be concentrated again

Rebuilding an economy that rewards hard work and innovation

As the Declaration of Independence reminds us:

“…whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”

In John’s words;

This campaign isn’t about ideology, it’s about engineering a government that works again, one built on honesty, accountability, and a renewed respect for the Constitution that keeps the nation free.
