U.S. PRESIDENT

Kamala Harris

COMING SOON


U.S. SENATOR

Bob Casey

Bob Casey was born and raised in Scranton, where he still lives today. He brings the Pennsylvania values of hard work and perseverance to his service in the U.S. Senate every day. He believes that all of us must strive to make Pennsylvania a Commonwealth in life as well as in name, facing our biggest challenges head-on, and facing them together. The stories, struggles, and aspirations of Pennsylvanians inspire Bob Casey to keep fighting to level the playing field for our working families and deliver results for the Commonwealth.

SERVING PENNSYLVANIA

“All public service is a trust, given in faith and accepted in honor.” Those are the words inscribed on the Finance Building in Harrisburg where Bob Casey started his work in public service, and the words that still guide him today. He has striven to honor that trust by working across the aisle to get things done and deliver for Pennsylvania’s working families. Whether it’s standing up to China, lowering costs for families, or funding critical infrastructure projects that will create tens of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania, Bob Casey is fighting every day in Washington to improve the lives of the people he represents. One of the most bipartisan and effective members of the Senate, he introduced and passed into law more bills than nearly every other Senator in the last Congress.

FIGHTING FOR WORKERS AND WORKING FAMILIES

Bob Casey’s fight for workers and families is shaped by his own family’s story. His grandfather, Alphonsus Liguori Casey, worked as an 11-year-old in a coal mine near Scranton to help support his family. Today, his grandson is leading the fight in Washington to extend the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund for Pennsylvania’s coal miners, save pensions for tens of thousands of Pennsylvania workers, and put an end to tax breaks for union busting. Bob is also fighting to hold big corporations accountable for raising prices on middle-class families, stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities, and fight back against China’s cheating practices that hurt Pennsylvania workers.

CHAMPION FOR CHILDREN, SENIORS, VETERANS, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Bob Casey has dedicated his career to fighting for the most vulnerable among us. His ABLE Act, which allows people with disabilities to save for their future, has been called the most significant disability legislation passed into law since the Americans with Disabilities Act. He worked to cap the cost of insulin at $35 for seniors, and helped pass the PACT Act to provide care to veterans who have suffered after being exposed to toxic burn pits. Throughout his time in public service, Bob Casey has been a steadfast and nationally recognized advocate for Pennsylvania’s children.

Since 1991, Bob and his wife, Terese have lived in the Hill section of Scranton in the same home where they raised their four daughters. Representing Pennsylvania in the Senate has been the honor of Bob’s lifetime, but his favorite job is being “Bomba” to his two grandsons. A true son of our Commonwealth, Bob regularly visits each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties to talk to people about the issues that matter most to them. He has spent his life standing up for Pennsylvanians and his sleeves are rolled up to continue the fight.


ATTORNEY GENERAL

Eugene DePasquale

Just like any Pennsylvanian, Eugene doesn’t back down from a tough fight.

Whether it’s standing up for women’s reproductive freedoms, taking on police bureaucracy to reduce backlogs in untested rape kits, or holding polluters accountable for dirtying our air and water, Eugene has your back.

Born and raised in the blue-collar city of Pittsburgh, Eugene knows the value of hard work, putting himself through law school at night.

Eugene is a lifetime Democrat and principled leader who will stand up to both parties to protect Pennsylvanians.

He’s earned a reputation as a transparent, independent watchdog of the taxpayer’s money.

As a former state legislator and two-term Auditor General with a record of protecting Pennsylvanians by taking on tough challenges and holding each party accountable, Eugene asks for your support in his campaign for Attorney General.

PA TREASURER

Erin McClelland

A native of Western Pennsylvania and a lifelong Democrat, I was born, raised, and currently live in a working-class steel mill town on the outskirts of Allegheny County. I am the beneficiary of four generations of organized labor and relish the fact that my hometown still has an operational steel rolling mill. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in 1997 and my Master of Science concentrating in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Chatham University (formerly Chatham College) in 2002.

I spent 15 years of my career as a substance abuse and mental health counselor and served as a program manager and director in treatment systems in multiple Western PA counties. In 2003, I began working at the Institute for Research, Education, and Training in Addiction (IRETA) as their Process Improvement Manager. My work was dedicated to reducing the 10-year information gap between best-practice research and clinical integration throughout Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.

During that time, I had the privilege to train under the direction of former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, where I learned supply chain logistics and lean process improvement strategies to eliminate errors, increase effectiveness, reduce waste, and improve outcomes in large systems. While at IRETA, I served as an opiate addiction consultant on the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s (ONDCP) 25 Cities Initiative.

In 2006, I designed, successfully state-licensed and operated the first and only orthomolecular recovery program for addiction in Pennsylvania. This program raised nearly $2 million in venture capital funding and was featured twice in Industrial Engineer Magazine for using supply chain management principles and lean systems to improve effectiveness. Not willing to succumb to common claims of over-regulation in the substance abuse treatment system by some providers, I set a goal to achieve a perfect evaluation in the clinic’s annual state audit and achieved it.

In 2014 and 2016, I was the Democratic nominee for the United States Congress in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District serving Cambria, Somerset, Beaver, Westmoreland, Lawrence, and Allegheny Counties. Being on the ballot with Donald Trump and seeing first-hand the issues of rural and working-class voters ignored by my own party was an experience and a conscious awareness that I carry with me to this day.

In 2015 I began performing process improvement and policy work at the Allegheny County Department of Human Services (DHS). My work includes redesigning the organization’s employee performance management system, developing a merit-based hiring process and policy, writing the employee medical marijuana policy, and identifying points of systemic bias in the employee recruitment and retention processes. Every day I work to standardize employees’ work, eliminate systemic bias, and advocate for blame-free workplace principles that protect workers, improve morale, and decrease turnover and other forms of systemic loss.

I have thoroughly enjoyed starting and operating a small business and working to improve government systems, processes, and policies while advocating for our public sector workers. My experience has taught me, in any large complex adaptive system, it doesn’t matter how good your intentions are if you don’t have viable systemic answers to two fundamental questions: What problem are you trying to solve and what is the root cause of this problem? The devil lies completely in the details of the policy solutions you implement. And it’s time we elect a responsible, honest broker to oversee the Commonwealth’s Treasury who is committed to rebuilding our state’s supply chain with transparency and integrity and managing our taxpayer’s coffers with diligence and accountability.
