Candidates' Links

We have several outstanding Republican candidates seeking office. Please take time to learn more about them and consider helping with their campaigns as you are able, and support our efforts to help these experienced, wonderful people get elected.

Pat Toomey for Senate - Pat Toomey has represented Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District in Congress for three consecutive terms. Pat was one of Congress's leading advocates for limited government and personal freedom. He led efforts to expand tax cuts and reduce wasteful spending. And because of his exemplary leadership on the economic front, he received top scores from national fiscal watchdog groups such as Citizens against Government Waste, Americans for Tax Reform, the National Taxpayers Union, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Most recently, Pat served as president of the limited government, free-enterprise advocacy organization, The Club for Growth. Pat lives in Zionsville, Pa. with his wife Kris and their two children.

Tom Corbett for Governor - Tom Corbett is the current Attorney General of Pennsylvania. He has been known for his strong stance against corruption as well as a national leader on his balanced approach to business. While in office, Attorney General Corbett created and developed the following programs:

1. a Child Predator Unit to capture Internet predators before they have a chance to prey on our children, with 236 convicted to date;
2. an Elder Abuse Unit to protect our senior citizens from fraud and abuse;
3. a Public Corruption Unit to protect citizens from abuse of power and government corruption; and
4. a dedicated commitment to fight the war on illegal drugs and gangs in our neighborhoods and to halt drug trafficking in our communities.

Corbett served as Chairman of the Republican Association of Attorneys General and sits on the Attorney General of the United States' Executive Working Group. Attorney General Corbett served his country as a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard 28th Infantry Division, rising in rank from private to captain. A life-long Pennsylvania resident, Tom married his college sweetheart, Susan. They are the proud parents of two children.

Jim Cawley for Lt Governor - Since 2005, Jim Cawley has been serving on Bucks County Board of Commissioners. As Commissioner, Jim has established a solid record: a strong fiscal conservative, an innovator who integrates technology to save taxpayers millions of dollars and a leader in public safety.

Jim has been active in charitable and civic affairs in Bucks County and is an advocate for environmental protection. He serves on the County Commissioner's Association of Pennsylvania's Board of Directors as the Energy, Environment & Land Use Committee Chair. Jim also currently serves as vice president of community relations for the Bucks County Council, Boy Scouts of America.

Commissioner Cawley and his wife, Suzanne, reside in Middletown Township.

Rick Hellberg for US Representative, District 2

Jobs - Government has never and will never create productive, sustainable jobs.

Taxes - Our tax system is an overly complicated mess that places an overwhelming large portion of the responsibility of running the government on the productive members of society.

Immigration - We must continue to welcome those hard working immigrants who want to create a better life for themselves and their families. What we can't allow are small minority of immigrants who come to our shores to do us harm, break our laws or live off our system.

Energy - For our national security; for our economy; for the sake of our least advantaged citizens; we must become energy independent.

Government Spending - Our economy cannot sustain the current levels of government spending without either collapsing the economy or repudiating the resulting levels of debt.
