Hope Christman has been a leader in our community her entire life. She has been a sports coach to almost all the kids in our area. Hope is a medical social worker by profession, who has earned her master’s degree in the field. Her focus is always on helping others, and we need a person with her experience.

Her opponent, Jack Rader, has earned the title “Rader the Evader” for his refusal to appear in public at any debates (he has refused four so far), nor does he ever appear at events where he and Hope could answer questions. His voting record shows that he has nothing to brag about; maybe that’s why he remains invisible to all but his big donors.

In fact he votes far to the right of what most people want; he approves of the corrupt practice of gerrymandering districts; he refused to extend the time limit for victims of childhood sexual assault to file their complaints; he votes with the far-right Mastriano about 90% of the time. Voters in our area are more moderate than he is; but he doesn’t care.

He has been in office too long; let’s get our voices heard in Harrisburg for a change. Vote for Hope.
