I Woke Up Smiling Today

I have one thing to say to the DNC and Pennsylvania party chairs, spend some money in my district.

I live in central Pa. I remember Democratic Rep. Pat Stapleton riding in a convertible in our town's 4th of July parade.

I remember going with a group of people to Washington DC to lobby my House Rep. Jack Murtha to vote against a Bill that would have hurt the company I worked for, he did and he gave us a tour of the House floor.

Recently I have had to write in names to vote for my Rep. and it is sickening because my Rep is a piece of shit who only drinks oil and breathes methane, Glenn Thompson.

Please support a candidate in my district, I am willing to contribute and participate.

Not just posting this just for my district, there are probably many more districts that are waiting for a viable Democratic candidate.

to SC two years ago, but I’ll donate to anyone running against him. The farmers should be pretty ticked off by now.

was a law student at Penn State. Ran on pro-coal, pro-tariffs on steel against tariffs on agriculture.

It just seems to me, and I could be wrong, that it's just hard to get someone to run in the Pa. 15th District.

I don't know if anyone is running in 2026.
