As an independent waging a write-in campaign for the 183rd State House District, the party machines never cease to amaze me. The mediocracy of your state government is no accident. Their sole objective is to get elected, and then remain an incumbent.
In the 183rd, the Democratic challenger charges the Republican incumbent with a poor attendance record because of his duty as a reservist. The incumbent in turn sends out an expensive mailer, claiming that he fights for his constituents both at home and abroad.
My motivation in running is to provide quality representation for a term or two, not support a party platform, or perpetuate a career. There are numerous bills pending in the house. While many are just expansions of a definition or terms, some are of more significance.
I would support all the bills pertaining to financial aid for small businesses suffering from the consequences of the Covid-19 restrictions. Pennsylvania certainly failed to provide adequate safeguards for our nursing home residents at the beginning of the pandemic.While a 23 year old feels immortal, a 73 year old feels vulnerable. At this point in time, masks should be mandatory for indoor public venues. Small businesses should be able to operate with reasonable precautions, and customer discretion.

How about church services? Any restrictions? And while youre at it, 2nd Amendment too?
ReplyDeleteDon, Although I support the 2nd Amendment, and feel that church congregations should use their own discretion, I'm not running to be another right or left member of the house. I'm interested in a smaller state government, with better use of taxes.
