JOHN FETTERMAN

John doesn’t look like a typical politician, and more importantly, he doesn’t act like one. He supported legalizing marijuana before it was popular, officiated a same-sex marriage before it was legal, and pushed for single-payer healthcare long before it was mainstream. The issues John is running on now are the same issues he’s been working on for the last two decades.

Together, John and Gisele have fought for causes they believe in, from immigration reform to LGBTQ+ rights. When Pennsylvania lawmakers continued to push outdated discriminatory policies banning marriage equality, John stood up and officiated one of the first same-sex marriages in the commonwealth. And when they wanted to build a four-lane interstate highway through Braddock, a town that’s more than 80% Black and already suffered historically high asthma rates, John was the only elected official in Western Pennsylvania who opposed it on the grounds that it was environmental racism.

Beth Farnham

Write In “BETH FARNHAM” instead of checking John Joyce for Pennsylvania’s 13th Congressional Representative District

As an elected Adams County Democratic Committee member and former registered Republican of Adams County, Pennsylvania, Beth has witnessed conspiracy theory and Christian exclusion subvert our American ideals of Democracy as well as actual Christianity. As a fifteen year resident of Adams County, she has lived among hypocrites who wrap themselves in the United States flag and carry a Bible, then discount Black Lives, Women’s Rights, public education, voting rights, stewardship of the Earth, and welfare programs, while they exalt personal freedoms to threaten others with firearms, pollution, and infectious disease.

When Black Lives Matter, when Women’s Rights are Human Rights, when No Human is Illegal, when Love is Love, and when Science is Real, then we embrace “the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” and we love our neighbors as ourselves. Life is defined by the Biblical concept “first breath” and so…the murders of Black people at the hands of racist police officers, students at the bullets of gleeful gun nuts, medically vulnerable at the respirations of antivaxxers, and starving children at the fists of a selfish society are contrary to that basic right, while fetal termination is not. Truths of peer-reviewed Science, Critical Race Theory, gun statistics, and the like shall not be hidden under a bushel, but revealed for All.

A vote for Beth is a vote for the American ideals of individual worth, equal rights, liberty, enfranchisement, and majority rule, once promised by our Founding Fathers, improved by the marching generations, and manifested in you.

Josh Shapiro

Throughout his career as a public servant, Josh Shapiro has taken on the status quo, brought people together to solve tough problems, and delivered results for the people of Pennsylvania. Since 2017, he has served as the People’s Attorney General, working every day to stand up to powerful institutions and protect Pennsylvanians’ rights. Now, Josh is running to be Pennsylvania’s next Governor — to move our Commonwealth forward and tackle our biggest challenges.

Josh grew up in Pennsylvania, watching his parents serve their community — his father was a pediatrician, and his mother was an educator. Their example inspired Josh to enter into public service, and from a young age, Josh recognized that standing up for others was how he wanted to spend his career.

Josh Shapiro knows Pennsylvanians need a Governor who will take on the biggest fights and solve our most pressing problems. As long as Josh is serving our Commonwealth, he will continue to defend Pennsylvanians and deliver results.

Josh and his wife, Lori, live in Montgomery County with their three school-age sons, and their eldest daughter attends the University of Pittsburgh.

SARA AGERTON

Sara Agerton lives in Mechanicsburg, PA where she raises her teenage daughter with her husband.  She currently serves her community as an elected official on the borough council.  She is employed as a healthcare administrator in the field of hospice.  Her career in Social Work has allowed her many opportunities to serve families and children throughout the state of Pennsylvania.  She is a believer of giving back to her community and finds herself serving in many capacities to make her community better.

After graduation from IUP with a BA in Criminology she realized that her talents were better placed in Social Work.  She went on to receive her Masters in Social Work while working full time and starting her family.  It was during this time she worked with children in group homes, foster care and adoption.   She has worked in guardianship and now in hospice.  This career path has allowed her to work with all aspects of the family.  She has been able to navigate systems to assist those in need and advocate for them.

She has also found herself volunteering and believes in being active in the community.  She has been a girl scout leader, a girls on the run coach, a facilitator for Alzheimer’s support groups, and guardian, and now serves on the fundraising committee for Sadler HealthCare Expansion to the West Shore.  When an opportunity arises, her values push her to be there serving her neighbors.

Over her elected experience she has been able to be a voice for her constituents.  She has served as chair of Outreach and Communication, Parks and Property, and currently chairing the Personnel Committee for Mechanicsburg Borough Council.  She has the opportunity to serve as a liaison for HARB and for the Downtown Mechanicsburg Partnership.  She is active in supporting small businesses and helping promote services throughout the pandemic.  She also takes an active role in promoting outdoor recreation and supports the Greenway Trolley Project.

She continually finds herself in a role of advocacy.  Promoting the ideals that we must look out for each other not leave those behind.  Issues that are important to her are accessible and affordable healthcare.  This should not be a barrier to individuals and we need to look at the barriers preventing those from receiving preventable healthcare and specialty services including mental health services and addiction care.  She believes that education for our children needs to be at the forefront.  Without quality access to education and funding for our public education systems, our children suffer. Infrastructure is also top of mind as we look at crumbling roads and bridges.  Government inaction is costing us more by delaying a comprehensive plan.

If elected Sara understands her role in helping move forward policies that will help everyone in the 88th and promote our path forward.  This area is part of one of the fastest-growing areas in PA and the time is now to have a new voice.
