There seems to only be a handful of elected state officials who really understand what our “commonwealth” within our “republic” is about. Maybe it does not matter, since the “unelected” bureaucrats seem to be the ones running things.

Our state is out of control with its support and “investments” in what are truly European-style social democracy policies. Why aren’t more officials pushing back on this? We are overtaxed and overregulated, losing our conservative voice and losing the battle for election integrity.

We need voter ID. Our elected officials need to ignore the low-hanging fruit that gives them photo ops and atta-boys. Instead, they need to be laser focused on the critical issues like lowering taxes. We have the third highest gasoline tax in the country. We need to deregulate businesses, block funding to any sanctuary city/county and have full transparency during “deal making.”

We should be accepting nothing less than true conservative policies in Harrisburg. Are you tired of “business as usual”? It is time to retire the old guard that follows the party line and put our faith in young elected officials with young ideas. It is their turn. Take back our state, Republican Party. Vote for Jamie Lingg for state representative, District 55.
