Letter: People, Not Politics

People, not politics. It is a slogan that we have heard over and over, from both sides, from many candidates. It is often hard to believe coming from polished politicians in expensive suits, but when it comes from a small business owner from Millheim, in boots and her cowboy hat, you take note. When you get to know the hardworking, genuine, compassionate person that is Erin McCracken, you have no doubt that her campaign for state representative is absolutely about the people and not the politics. 

As our elected officials kowtow to their corporate donors, and gerrymander district lines so they have to do the least amount of work possible, Erin McCracken is refusing corporate money, and out there in the 171st district, putting in the work. She is out there talking to, and most importantly, listening to, the voters. She not only knows how to put in the work, with a masters degree in public administration, and a masters degree in social work, she also knows what work needs to be done in Harrisburg, and how to get it done. 

For 22 years, we have had a representative that is of his donors, for his donors, and by his donors, and it is us, the hardworking Pennsylvanians, that pay the price. On November 6, it is finally time for the 171st district to have a representative that is truly of the people, for the people, and by the people. Elect Erin McCracken for state representative of the 171st.
