With the May primary just around the corner, I am wondering what the Republicans in power will do to insure that Republican voters will turn out. Now I realize that in this primary there are few opponents, but things have to be set up for November. On the Democratic side, they have unleashed their big guns, as in Joe Sestak, to unseat the ever popular Curt Weldon. Here's a rundown of the local Dems and what district they represent here in Delaware County.
Pennsylvania State House of Representatives
District 159 Representative Thaddeus Kirkland
District 160 Shawn Diggory
District 161 Bryan Lentz
District 162 Marilyn Woodman
District 163 Marie DeYoung
District 164 Casey Roncaglione
District 165 Larry Healy
District 166 Representative Greg Vitali
District 168 Fred Dewey
District 185 Representative Bob Donatucci
District 191 Representative Ron Waters
And here are the Republicans.
160th District Hon. Stephen Barrar
161st District Hon. Thomas P. Gannon
162nd District Hon. Ron Raymond
163rd District Hon. Nicholas A. Micozzie
164th District Hon. Mario J. Civera
165th District Hon. William F. Adolph, Jr.
168th District Hon. Thomas H. Killion
Now out of these only two matter to me. The 163 and the 164 Districts. My mother in Upper Darby and myself in Clifton Heights. So who am I voting for? I never heard of Marie DeYoung, So I "googled" her. Impressive to say the least. Former Army Chaplin, whistleblower of Halliburton, Local educator.
Here's her web site.

Now in Nick Micozzie's defense I will say that both myself and others have gone to him for help for various issues and he has responded positively. In any case because of the "let's vote ourself a pay increase last summer" come this November I think Nick and the others has their work cut out for them.

Kirkland is a Democrat.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I will correct that disinformation.
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog. Quite refreshing to have some thoughtful commentary about Upper Darby. We seem to be overlooked by traditional media, unless there's a fire, murder, robbery or some other catastrophy. I'm sure those who rule our community like it that way, for the deeper in the dark we are the less we can see.

Good luck against Civera in Upper Darby. People here for the most part only vote along party lines. It's up to people like you to remind them about the illegal pay increase last year.
ReplyDeleteCivera is going to be in the news very soon, and not the way he would want to be. A little birdie told me.
ReplyDeleteTHIS EXPLAINS IT ALL!

and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden"
diversion.

What Bill Clinton did in the 1960's is of vital national interest,
