Branding Candidate Molovinsky

An article on Wehr's Dam referred to me as a blogger running for State Representative. Before that label sticks,  please allow me to identify myself. I'm a long time community advocate, who in recent years has used a blog to help shine light on issues. Long before I had a blog, or even a computer, I was a contributor to the community dialogue. Although a life long proponent of historical preservation, in the late 90's I organized homeowners who felt an unnecessary proposed historic district infringed upon their property rights. Among many other issues in recent years, I turned my attention to the preservation of the WPA structures gracing our communities. Although the article referred to me as a member of the group defending Wehr's Dam, I actually started that effort. Even though Allentown is not part of the 183rd District, I continue to publish molovinsky on allentown, because it is an archive on my activism during the last decade. However, that activism started long before the blog.

ADDENDUM DECEMBER 22, 2021: I have always considered state government in Pennsylvania dysfunctional, and self serving for those incumbents elected here for life. With that conviction, I ran as an independent in 2014 against eleven term incumbent Julie Harhart, even though the Northampton area dominated the little sliver of South Whitehall in the 183th District. It is my understanding that the proposed new map places the township in one district. I wonder if South Whitehall would now be ready to be represented by a trouble maker like myself?
