Justin Wagner is running for Congress to make our communities safer, stronger, and more self-reliant.

Justin believes in Western Pennsylvania deserves real representation-someone who will fight for local veterans and labor, for affordability and opportunity for working families, to ensure all of us have access to healthcare, and ensure every school has the tools they need to prepare the next generation.

We need someone who will fight for a reasonable justice system, one that actually upholds justice. We need someone who is considering an Earth that is going to be healthy and safe for our children, and our children’s children. We need someone who will hold wealthy elite to the highest standards, and act swiftly when the powerful violate the basic tenents of the social contract.

Kathryn DiVittorio has dedicated her life to fighting for families and expanding rural access to education across Northwest Pennsylvania. A nonprofit leader, educator, and proud mom, Kathryn understands the challenges we face–and will bring both professional expertise and lived experience to Harrisburg.

The daughter of U.S. Navy veterans, Kathryn has called Corry home since she was less than a year old. From her parents, Kathryn learned early the value of perseverance and responsibility. Her father worked as a welder, corrections officer, and nurse, while her mother spent years as a department manager at their local Walmart.

Running for Pennsylvania State Representative District 4.

Governor Shapiro believes all Pennsylvanians should have the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed – and that is what he has worked to deliver: from creating jobs and putting money back in people’s pockets, to investing in law enforcement and community organizations to improve public safety, to delivering historic funding for our kids’ education, to protecting our freedoms and our democracy. 

Under Josh Shapiro’s leadership, we have invested more in public education than ever before, hired hundreds of new law enforcement officers, created thousands of new jobs, and put money back in people’s pockets.

“Democracy works, America, but we gotta want it — not just during election year, but all the days in between.”

-Barack Obama
