Hello Friends!
It has been a busy few weeks, and I wanted to give you an update on our campaign for Pennsylvania State House in District 28! Scroll to the bottom for info about our upcoming events and volunteer needs!
Progressives are Desperate to Maintain Control
Our Pennsylvania State Government has the only divided state legislature in the country. Republicans narrowly control the State Senate and Democrats control the State House by the slimmest of margins, 102-101. Yes, there is just a 1 vote margin out of 203 members. However, that 1 vote margin makes all the difference. With that single vote, progressives are able to set the House calendar, decide which bills come up for a vote, and even stack committee memberships in their favor. This one vote margin also allows the majority to set the rules. Earlier in May, we saw just one egregious example of how the Democrats twisted the rules in their favor. One Democrat member of the House from Philadelphia had an arrest warrant out against him. He was literally a fugitive from the law for a week. Unbelievably, during the time he was being pursued by law enforcement, he was casting votes in the PA House via proxy – another member voting for him! You cannot make this craziness up! This highlights the importance of winning PA 28 and others to regain control of the House.
With the Progressives desperate to maintain control, we are seeing huge amounts of national left-wing money flowing into Pennsylvania since we are one of only a handful of swing states from the presidential level all the way down to the State House. Democrats have identified 15 State House seats they are targeting to hold or flip. PA 28 – our district – is one of them. This is why I need your help even more. There is something for everyone to do, from helping put up door hangers, addressing postcards, making yard signs, and donating so we can get our message out.
