As I work with Bill Cahir on his campaign, there has been one thing that continues to stand out. No matter where he goes, or who he calls on the phone, he is always having to tell people how he pronounces his last name. Sure, it is spelled C-A-H-I-R, but it sounds like “Care.” Honestly, we laugh about it a lot, but Bill seems to take it all in stride and is rather patient about it.

So we decided, if he was going to be so cool about it, why not just use it as a way to launch our first online ad.

There is no changing his last name so we may as well use it in our bid to become the next congressman in the fifth district and change out the mess in Washington.

CLEARFIELD – Centre County attorney Jennifer P. Bierly has been named chairman of the McCracken for Congress Committee by Democratic candidate Mark B. McCracken of Clearfield County.

“I am pleased that Jennifer has agreed to chair my campaign for Congress in the 5th Congressional District. She brings tremendous political experience, insight and enthusiasm to our campaign.” McCracken said.

Bierly, a Centre County native, is a 1990 graduate of Penns Valley High School and a 1994 summa cum laude graduate of Virginia Tech, where she earned a B.A. in Urban Affairs. She graduated in 1997 from The University of Pittsburgh School of Law and focuses her practice in the area of family law. She and her husband, Stephen Fast live in Port Matilda.  read more »
