Hi there, I wanted to share a little bit about my journey and why I’m running for Congress.

Before I decided to run, I had the privilege of serving Pennsylvanians under Senator Casey and Governor Wolf. I’ll tell you more about that in just a moment, but if you’re ready to help me continue fighting for our communities in Washington, I hope you’ll make a donation to my campaign today.

In 2011, Senator Bob Casey asked me to be his Regional Manager in Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, and Berks Counties, and I served as his Statewide Latino Affairs Advisor. I worked one-on-one with thousands of people in our community, connecting them to services that made a real difference in their lives. I went to bat for them, and I’m proud to have delivered results.

A few years later, I joined Governor Tom Wolf’s Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs, representing the Lehigh Valley. I pushed for policies that truly supported working families and advocated for our community’s needs at the highest level of state government.

I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to listen to people, understand their struggles, and take action to make life better for them. And now, I’m running for Congress because I believe PA-07 deserves someone who shows up, listens, and actually gets things done.

But here’s the thing: This race is going to take everything we’ve got. We need your support to stay competitive and keep pushing forward.

Will you chip in today to help us continue this fight and make sure PA-07 gets the representation it deserves?

Thank you for your support,

Carol Obando-Derstine
