As I had mentioned in an earlier post, we are releasing our latest policy paper this weekend on our Issues page. This week we have once again laid out the most thoughtful and comprehensive proposal of its kind in the Democratic primary for the PA 5th congressional race. This time it is our long term energy strategy.  read more »

When you are applying for a new job, most employers want to hear from your previous boss for a reference. Today, Bill Cahir got just that person to “put in a good word” for his candidacy to become the next congressman from the PA-05.

Senator Harris Wofford of Pennsylvania came to State College today to endorse Bill. A lot of Pennsylvanian’s remember Sen. Wofford as being one of the most influential figures in not only the civil rights movement, but in making universal health care the hallmark issue of his U.S. Senate election in 1991. Bill worked for Sen. Wofford as one of the staff who helped to draft the healthcare reform legislation.  read more »

Bill Cahir continued to grow again today as he rolled out five more endorsements from leaders across the PA 5th district. I won’t spam this site like others with entire press releases, but you can check out the newest Democratic and community leaders from Elk and Cameron Counties here:

Bill keeps traveling this vast district and as he does, he keeps on picking up endorsers who most often tell him they believe he has the right profile for the district and as a result, the first time in a long time to win this seat for the Democrats.

We’re encouraged as always from the broad base of support the campaign and Bill are demonstrating. It is a good indication of the momentum taking place in the Cahir campaign.  read more »

Today, Bill Cahir’s campaign launched yet another policy page called Every American’s Health Care Right. You can check it out here:

Bill takes a lot of lessons from his days working for Senator Harris Wofford and their was no more important issue than health care reform in which he learned about the mess in Washington. The big special interests defeated health care back then and Bill saw how they prevented all Americans from being covered.

The campaign is taking the approach of putting out real, substanitive policy statements because bullet points, blurbs and talking points just aren’t enough. The voters in the PA 5th deserve better and Bill is more than happy to drive the debate with bold ideas.  read more »
