(Elizabeth, Pa) Monica Douglas, candidate for State House in the 39th District, today announced her support for House Bill 55, a bill introduced by Representative Mark Mustio. Representative Mustio’s bill reduces the size and spending of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Today the PA House State Government Committee will hear testimony regarding House Bill 55.

“Residents of Pennsylvania are tired of the status quo and business as usual politics in Harrisburg. The time has come for Pennsylvania legislators to act on meaningful legislative reform. House Bill 55 is a good start. It is a sensible measure that incorporates modest downsizing provisions, as well as a much needed 20% cost cut in both houses of the Pennsylvania legislature,” Douglas commented.

The Pennsylvania legislature is one of the largest and most costly in the nation. “My opponent, Dave Levdansky, has remained silent on this important issue of reform in Harrisburg,” she said. “Representative Levdansky campaigns every election cycle using the motto “Best Record of Reform”. Actions speak louder than words and It’s time for Levdansky to act.” urged Douglas.
Douglas challenged, “Today I call upon Dave Levdansky to support House Bill 55. It is time for this issue to be brought before the full legislature for a vote. We can’t afford for this bill to languish in committee any longer.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Elizabeth, PA) – Monica Douglas, candidate for State House in the 39th Legislative District today called for Representative DeWeese to resign his position as Majority Leader in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

“It has become increasingly apparent with the cloud of Bonusgate hanging over the Democratic House Leadership that the era of “politics as usual” in Harrisburg continues,” stated Douglas.

“Residents of the Commonwealth deserve better. One has to question with the magnitude of corruption associated with the Bonusgate scandal, the validity of the claims by the democratic House leadership to have no knowledge of the wrongdoing,” said Douglas. Douglas further stated, “I believe that the public is smarter than what the democratic leadership gives them credit for”.

“We need to end the era of professional politicians in Harrisburg,” commented Douglas who is running against a 23 year incumbent.

Ms. Douglas, a Republican is running for State House in the 39th District. She is the President of Elizabeth Borough Council. Ms. Douglas’s opponent is State Representative Dave Levdansky, a 23 year incumbent and Chairman of the Finance Committee.

Monica Douglas, candidate for the 39th District in the PA State House applauded the decision in Heller vs. DC. “This landmark case has affirmed our constitutional right of self defense,” stated Douglas. Douglas said, “The Supreme Court’s decision has validated the protections guaranteed to individuals by the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution.”
