Today Ron Rabenold had a barbecue at the Bowmanstown Rod and Gun Club catered by “Oinkers.” It was classic Americana--barbecue, hot dogs, corn, beans, rolls, and ice cream, with soda and beer to drink. Attendees ranged in age from a few months to the late 80s. In the near distance someone was practicing on the rifle range.
Speeches by Congressional candidate Matt Cartwright and PA House Representative Mike Carroll fired up the crowd, and Ron Rabenold then gave his pitch on why he should be elected. Jeremy Haloskie from Penn Forest was the M.C. and did an excellent job.
Will Rabenold win in November? If enthusiasm is an indicator, he will. I also think people are starting to see that while his opponent, Mr. Heffley, may be an ok guy on a personal level, his voting record is killing education, the environment, women’s rights, and the future of Pennsylvania. As one person said today, “I wouldn’t mind having a beer with Heffley, but I sure don’t want him representing me in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.”
Agree, as a person he is an OK guy. But, the voting record says it all. He is not working for the local community. Only what the Governor wants him to vote for.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Heffley seems like a OK guy. I think he thinks he means well. But, Heffley doesn't step back to see how his voting record affects Carbon County. Ron Rabenold has a lot going for him. It will be interesting to see what happens in November because Heffley does not appeal to moderates!
