Republican Candidate for Pennsylvania House of Representatives -- District 42
Thank you for your support. We definitely have an uphill battle on our hands. My opponent is not only the incumbent, but is also much better funded. However, we all know that it isn't money that wins elections, it's issues and ideas, and there we have the edge. Whether it's "Bonusgate" or the backroom budget deals or the 40 year exodus of jobs and people from Pennsylvania, the issues all favor our team. The people of the 42nd district deserve someone in Harrisburg who is on their side. The fact that I am not a career politician and have no long term political ambitions puts me in a unique position to represent this district. In order to reduce taxes we'll have to cut costs. I pledge to work to reduce government spending, starting with the outrageous cost of state government in Pennsylvania.
This campaign will be won at the grassroots level and I need your support. If you have never volunteered on a campaign before, now is the time to get involved.
I am looking forward to campaigning in the weeks ahead and I hope that I will have an opportunity to meet you at a community event, when I'm campaigning door-to-door or as a part of the Jim Blazeck team. Together we can make a BIG difference – both for the 42nd District and for Pennsylvania.
