Vote Verobish on March 17

A late friend of mine often said “I only vote in the primary.” At one time I could almost agree with that, but after I gave it some thought I found I must adamantly disagree with this half-hearted logic. The greatest degree of separation in government and you is the President of the United States, yet that’s the only one you’ll vote for? The government you’re most influenced by isn’t necessarily the top level. Many laws and regulations happen at the local level and the people in these offices often move upwards into higher offices. Who we have at the lower offices ...

Verobish will be responsible leader

The March 17 special election is an important opportunity for our community to make its voice heard. Local elections shape our future in very real ways, and participation is essential to ensuring our values are represented. Andrea Verobish is our Republican nominee, and she embodies the principles of responsible leadership, accountability and service to our community. Andrea understands the challenges facing our area and is committed to working hard for residents with integrity and common sense. Her dedication to practical solutions and transparent government makes her the right choice ...

Verobish will fight for women, children

In Pennsylvania we need representatives that stand firmly for the protection of women’s sports and keep gender ideology out of our classrooms. Every young woman who invests time, effort and resources deserves a fair chance to compete against her peers. Allowing biological males to participate, not only jeopardizes their safety but also robs them of scholarships opportunities, and even playing at all. Millions of people depend on their elected officials to shape an appropriate education. A focus on getting kids ready for adulthood. There is simply no place for concepts that ...

Trump, Republicans ruining the U.S.

What are Trump and the Republicans doing to our country? Trump lies about the economy and says that grocery prices and unemployment are lower than ever. Apparently, he and his administration have not been in a grocery store lately. Last month was the worst January for job cuts since the Great Depression. But Trump has made approximately $1.4 billion dollars since he’s been in office. When Obama was president, he deported 3 million illegals. There were no dragging people out of their homes, schools and churches. There were no beatings or killings. Obama did the job professionally. ...

Vote Verobish on March 17

As a member of the Blair County Republican Committee, I would encourage all voters in the 79th District to vote on March 17th for Andrea Verobish. Voters in the 79th District will have the unique and historic opportunity to vote in a special election for state representative, and I believe that Andrea Verobish will represent us well. State Rep. Lou Schmitt strongly advocated for our district, and I believe that Andrea’s conservative principles, such as pro-life policies, school choice, lower taxes and energy dominance will help our district in Harrisburg. Again, please encourage ...

Verobish will stand up for community

Important special election on March 17. All Republicans must vote. Or visit vote.pa.gov/applymailballot for a mail-in ballot. (Requesting a ballot is safe and they can be dropped off or mailed back.) Please vote in person or by mail, every vote counts. I am supporting Andrea Verobish in the 79th District because of her conservative principals including less regulation, protecting the unborn, lowering taxes, protecting our Second Amendment and standing up against the runaway spending in Harrisburg. She is the right kind of leader to stand up for our community and she has many years of ...
