Chester County, PA - April 25, 2012 - In a surprising showing, Roger Howard stood strong in Chester County with State Senate incumbent Dominic Pileggi.  “Chester County now has a strong Conservative voice.  We all must now rally around the most Conservative candidates in the November election.”

In further comments, Roger explained that progressive liberalism has had 150 years to incrementally infiltrate all aspects of politics.  It will take the same sustained efforts and ‘never give up’ approach for every Conservative.  

“This is a ‘ratchet moment’,” Howard went on to say, “We move forward and never go backwards.”  Conservatives had a strong showing in local races as well, and progress must continue on every level of governing.

Chester County had one of the highest voter turnouts in the Commonwealth.  “This is a credit to the informed and empowered voters who found their voice.  And once they have a voice, they will never stop speaking!”

Roger expressed support for the most Conservative candidates on the ballot in November.  Party unity while maintaining a Conservative voice is essential, he said.  Support which goes beyond voting in November, but actively working from now until then.  Roger said, “I will vote for Dominic Pileggi because he is the most Conservative candidate running.”

Roger closed by expressing gratitude for all the support and hard work by the many volunteers.  “It’s a testament to the heart of our Conservative movement when so many will give up so much for a cause greater than themselves.  I was humbled to work alongside them.  And I commit to continuing to faithfully represent them and their voice.”

Why Roger Is Running

In the years before the 2010 elections, we worked to elect a Republican Majority in the House and a Republican Governor with the promise of sweeping reforms.  However, the Republican leadership in the Senate has refused to accept this responsibility and has continued to do business as usual.  General Fund spending may have been reduced a bit.  Did you know they have authorized the borrowing of billions in the Capital Budget for routine maintenance and politically favored economic subsidies?

In the midst of high State unemployment, loss of population and the flight of business and medical practitioners to other States – our Republican Senate is silent. The people of Pennsylvania are frustrated.  We can no longer standby while Legislators refuse to effectively address the issues of Pension Reform, Medical Malpractice Tort Reform, Property Tax Reform, Right to Work, Prevailing Wage, Voter ID, E-Verify, and Failing Schools.

I am running for State Senate in the 9th District to restore the respect and trust of the people for the Pennsylvania Senate.  I want our Senate to be known to solve the major problems endangering our way of life in this Commonwealth.  Unless we act to improve our business and family climate our grandchildren and great grandchildren will be paying taxes to retire the debt of this Commonwealth.

Together, we can work to secure the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and for future generations.
