Today in front of the Carbon County Courthouse Annex in Jim Thorpe, Patti Borger told a crowd of supporters and a Channel 13 reporter that she was running for the 122nd District of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. She noted that Carbon County is not well served by the incumbent, who takes his cues from Governor Corbett rather than the citizens of the County.
Ms. Borger mentioned her ties to business and agriculture, her roots in the county, her commitment to education, her concerns about seniors losing their homes to property tax, her support for a clean environment, and her commitment to listen to the voters. What a contrast to the incumbent. His main concern is to get his picture in the Times News as often as possible.
Candidates often say, “This will be a tough race, but we can win it.” This will be a tough race. Ms. Borger will need volunteers, funding, and motivated voters. Her natural ability to relate to people and her commitment to work hard will put her over the top, but she will need help. I’ll do what I can.
