The Pink Elephant in the room that I spoke about, at length, on the campaign trail. Independents (i.e. non-Republicans, non-Democrats) are growing at an exponential rate in Pennsylvania. And if you want to see how tone-deaf the PaGOP is, read the comment from Vice Chair Comfort. And yet, they (allegedly) scratch their head - every election cycle - when they anoint....err endorse, in the primary their chosen candidates, and then lose in the general. This year will be no different. It's time for change. It's time for new leadership and a new vision, that actually thinks outside the box and implements it. As I believe the only Republican candidate in recent history (or perhaps ever) that was endorsed by several Independent Parties during my primary candidacy, the right candidates can get it done, but the Old Guard/Establishment of the PaGOP won't have that...
And for those who disagree, look at this second article in relation to my home-county, Berks. Republicans, *by a hair*, out number Democrats. So, Republicans should win, right? Nope, we just saw losses across the board in the '25 General by Republican candidates. Even school board and local government candidates got hosed! But how could that be? VP Comfort says all that matters is if the Republicans outnumber the Democrats. Well, the numbers don't lie. The Independents (referred to as "Non-Affiliation" in the article) pick our candidates. https://www.politicspa.com/pa-voter-registration-by-county-jan-2026/145349/
