Not a lot of people hold our political process in high regard.

And why would they? Millionaires and billionaires can go shopping for candidates like it’s a trip to the grocery store. Giant corporations are buying elections and rigging the system in their favor, and establishment politicians have forgotten where actual people fit into the equation. That’s not how it’s supposed to work.

Bernie Sanders and I are both running for the same reason: we believe that politics is about standing up for people instead of catering to corporate influence. We represent everyday working people who have been cut out of the political process by big money.

Doylestown mayor Ron Strouse recently called me “the Bernie Sanders of Pennsylvania, but with better hair.” All joking aside, I considered it high praise. Bernie is progressive, he’s authentic, and he’s not for sale.
