Dave McCormick, a Republican candidate vying for the Pennsylvania Senate seat, is making a bold statement about the need for change in the state. He argues that Pennsylvanians are struggling under the policies of incumbent Senator Bob Casey and the Biden administration, citing rising inflation, escalating crime rates, and a chaotic border situation. McCormick, a proud seventh-generation Pennsylvanian with a decorated military background and successful business career, contrasts his outsider perspective with Casey’s long-standing political career. He emphasizes that Pennsylvanians are feeling the brunt of these issues more than most, with nearly 60% believing the country is heading in the wrong direction.
McCormick asserts that Casey’s 18 years in office have not brought the desired change. He criticizes Casey’s vote for massive spending packages that, in his view, fueled inflation. He also takes issue with Casey’s stance on issues like middle-class tax cuts, energy policy, and transgender participation in women’s sports. He accuses Casey of being a rubber stamp for the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, which he believes have hurt working families.
McCormick presents a detailed policy agenda aimed at addressing these issues. He pledges to reduce the cost of living for families, create jobs, lower energy prices, secure the border, and provide support for families struggling with fertility issues and childcare costs. He highlights his military service, including combat experience in Operation Desert Storm, and his business acumen, having served as CEO of a successful Pittsburgh software company, FreeMarkets.
McCormick’s campaign slogan, ‘We Need Change,’ resonates with a growing number of Pennsylvanians who feel disenfranchised by the political establishment. He is positioning himself as a fresh voice, a problem-solver who will challenge the status quo and fight for the interests of the people.
McCormick’s message is resonating with those who believe Pennsylvania needs new leadership to address its pressing challenges. The outcome of the election will determine whether voters are ready for change, or if they will choose to stay the course.
