Our endorsement committee interviewed and proposed that we endorse Lisa Romaniello, candidate for State Representative in the 152nd District. During the May meeting the steering committee agreed.

Lisa feels this is an important time in history to push for more reform, more accountability, and to make sure we are investing in a green sustainable future.

She is not running for office to be a politician but she recognizes that it is time to do things differently. "We need a government that is proactive, not reactive. A government that cares about people - focused on preventative healthcare, early childhood education, and economic opportunity. It's time we put new ideas on the table to old problems and move PA forward. It's time to be progressive. I believe that's the kind of leadership I will offer", she says.

Lisa is concerned about the economy and the environment, and the problems that plague her district. We believe she has new ideas, energy and an ability to put creative solutions on the table.
