Cahir for Congress Receives Jefferson County Democratic Endorsement

Punxsutawney, PA – Democratic State Committee member and Punxsutawney attorney, Nicholas Gianvito has endorsed the candidacy of Bill Cahir for the Fifth Congressional District of Pennsylvania.

“As I listened to the candidates, I recognized that Bill has the right experience to represent us in Congress. With his two tours of duty in Iraq as a United States Marine, he is by far the most knowledgeable candidate on the Iraq War, Democratic or Republican. I believe that he understands the need for a real plan to ensure that our troops come home safely”.
Gianvito added “Bill also has a clear grasp of the tough domestic issues facing our Nation. From Bill’s work on the Family and Medical Leave Act to his work on health care reform while working as a Senate staffer for Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford, he understands the needs of working families.”

“I am honored to have a Democratic leader like Nick Gianvito join my team. His endorsement carries a lot of weight with those in the party and our community” said Bill Cahir. “We’re going to continue to work hard to earn the support of other leaders and the voters across Jefferson County and the entire 5th Congressional District. I know Nick will play a key role in how we build the momentum to do that,” Cahir concluded.
