Democratic candidate Pam DeLissio hopes voters will take a look at her application for State Representative. DeLissio equates this campaign process as a job interview with the voters portraying her prospective employer. Like many candidates in the race for the 194th Pennsylvania Legislative District, she brings a unique perspective to the table. She has been a resident of the 194th since 1982; living in Wynnefield, the Penn Wynne section of Lower Merion and currently in Roxborough.

Pam DeLissio Receives Two Major Endorsements

PHILADELPHIA, PA-Pam DeLissio, candidate for the 194th House District received two big endorsements this week. On Thursday, March 11th, the Montgomery County Democratic Committee voted overwhelmingly to endorse DeLissio for State Representative.

Local Lower Merion Committee person Meryl Gindin, had this to say about the endorsement, "I support Pam DeLissio because I believe that she has the requisite business background and personal strength to effectively represent her constituents in Harrisburg on the most pressing issues of health care, jobs and education. Even though the Lower Merion part of the 194th district represents a small portion of the district, I appreciate that Pam reached out to me and assured me that my area is just as important as the rest of the district. I know that we will have a wonderful working relationship with Pam when she is elected as our State Representative."

OUR CHOICES FOR THREE HOUSE SEATS

EVERY TIME state House races come around, we are reminded of what the 18th-century writer Samuel Johnson had to say about second marriages: He called them the triumph of hope over experience.
Each election cycle, we have hopes for Harrisburg to be infused with new blood - for people to say "we're mad as hell and we're going to change things." And some of them run, and get elected.

And before you know it, the election cycle has returned, and nothing much has changed.
