He has co-written articles on several topics, includingof Pennsylvania employment law, tax law and retirement benefits. Gibbons also served as Finnegan Fellow with the Pennsylvania Department of State's Bureau of Elections.

In 2006, he defeated 20-year incumbent Frank LaGrotta for the Democratic nomination at the age 25, while still a law student.[3][5] LaGrotta's defeat was likely a result of his support for the controversial 2005 legislative pay raise.[6][7]
