PEG PAC, the affiliated political action committee of the Pennsylvania Business Council and the state's oldest pro-business PAC, issued the following press release endorsing seven incumbent members of the state House for re-election – three Republicans and four Democrats.
PEG PAC endorsed:
•
GOP incumbents
Mike Fleck (81st) of Huntingdon County,
Seth Grove (196th) of York County and
Karen Boback (117th) of Luzerne County; and,
• Democratic incumbents
Margo Davidson (164th) of Delaware County,
Patty Kim (103rd) of Dauphin County,
Jake Wheatley (19th) of Allegheny County and Jim Roebuck (188th) of Philadelphia.
"These
seven House members all supported both the recent Transportation
overhaul legislation and the 'Apology' bill, a tort reform measure which
prohibits plaintiffs from
using most physician apologies against them in court," said PBC
President & CEO David W. Patti. All but Fleck are engaged in
competitive primaries – his primary opponent was recently removed from
the May ballot.
In addition, PEG PAC backed three GOP candidates
in House districts across the state:
•
Republican
Jason Ortitay,
a small business owner and member of the Burgettstown Area Community
Development Corporation, from the 46th District in Washington and
Allegheny counties who is vying to take on incumbent Rep.
Jessie White;
•
East Marlborough Township Supervisor and former Chairman of the Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission, Republican
Cuyler Walker, business owner and Partner at Pepper Hamilton LLP, running in the open 158th District in southern Chester County; and,
•
Former Rep. Tom Quigley, running to reclaim his seat in the 146th District in Montgomery County.
"We
believe Ortitay, Walker and Quigley will be strong pro-business voices
in the state House," said Patti, who noted that all of the candidates
also received a financial
contribution from PEG PAC.
