John,
I'm Mayor Paige Cognetti, and this week I launched my campaign to represent Pennsylvania's 8th Congressional District in the House.
I'm going to share more about why I'm in this race, but if you're ready to be part of our movement, please become a Founding Donor of our campaign now by splitting a donation between me and Democrat Bob Harvie.
I'm running for Congress because our neighbors deserve a representative who will fight for working families, not his own bank account. As Mayor of Scranton for the past six years and through my work across government, I've dedicated my career to helping people in Northeastern Pennsylvania build better lives and trust their government again.
But right now, we have a representative who is voting to gut vital programs while giving tax breaks to billionaires. Even worse? He’s trading stocks in the same industries he regulates, after running for Congress promising to ban congressional stock trading. He’s saying one thing and doing another.
In my first run for Mayor, I ran as an Independent against corrupt local politicians — they called it “Paige Against The Machine.” We shocked the political establishment and won, and I took on powerful people to clean up City Hall and build a government that works for everyone.
The people of Pennsylvania's 8th District deserve a representative with the fight to actually help people — not someone trading stocks for personal profit while voting against the interests of the people.
We can win this race and send a new kind of leader to Congress — one who has a track record of independence and isn’t afraid to disrupt the old system. Will you become a Founding Donor to our campaign by splitting a $10 donation between me and Bob Harvie now?
