Last night I listed the qualifications for the perfect candidate to run against Rep. Heffley. Today, amazingly, that candidate has announced her candidacy for the 122nd district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. She’s a woman with Carbon County roots. She has business experience, having operated her own home interior business for years. She not only has ties to agriculture, she was the first female president of the Pennsylvania Christmas Tree Growers’ Association. She hunts; we have a picture of a ten-point buck she shot. She likes other people, and people like her. And she is NOT an atheist, a former college professor, or a left-wing blogger.
She is Patti Borger of Mahoning Township. She and her husband Kevin operate a Christmas tree farm. She is not a toady of Governor Corbett. She does not believe that legislators should be in the room when a woman and her doctor make reproductive decisions. She is not beholden to out-of-state fracking companies. She understands that cutting school funding will put Pennsylvania further behind other states. She knows that seniors can can lose their homes because of rising property taxes. She actually listens to people.
I think she will beat Rep. Doyle Heffley like a drum. She’s really one of us.
She sounds great. I will have to follow the race. Wish I could vote for her. I have always felt that we need more women in politics. Continue to inform us on her run.
