Endorsement: Bill Mackey 124th House District

The Pennsylvania Progressive is happy to announce its endorsement of Bill Mackey for State Representative in the 124th Legislative District. Bill is from Schuylkill County and brings a strong grasp of the issues to Harrisburg. First and foremost among these is his integrity. A retired pipefitter, he is a firm advocate for lobbying reform. We cannot get our state political house in order until we enact real campaign finance and lobbyist disclosure reforms.

David Argall, the incumbent, for example, held a breakfast fundraiser last spring in Harrisburg. For $500/plate all of Harrisburg's lobbyists dined at your expense. Your expense because it is them he truly represents in the capitol. The fact Argall held this event in Harrisburg instead of Pottsville speaks volumes about who he really represents. Bill Mackey, on the other hand, held a breakfast fundraiser in Schuylkill County for his real constituents and supporters at $12/person.

Who do we really need representing the people of the 124th, Mr. Argall or Mr. Mackey? The choice is clear so I urge everyone to visit Bill Mackey's website and give him a little love.
