MEET RAY
A Statesman for Pennsylvania
“It is no secret that many of our representatives have fallen out-of-touch with everyday Pennsylvanian's. Money, lobbyists, and special interests have incentivized corruption and made us forget the soul of our democracy. Today, more than ever, we need to remember our founding fathers, who fought vigorously but in the end compromised because they were all statesmen who wanted to do right by their country.
I am running for Lieutenant Governor because I want to bring that spirit of statesmanship back to Pennsylvania, so that every Pennsylvanian can be confident that we are working tirelessly for them.
Like you, I am tired of political games getting in the way of social progress. It is time we put Pennsylvania above partisanship so that we can pass a budget, create good-paying jobs, invest in education, and build a government that works for EVERY Pennsylvanian.”
Ray has over 20 years of experience in the private sector providing support and advice to big and small companies, and he wants to use that experience to create a more efficient and effective government in Pennsylvania.
The Lieutenant Governor serves as:
-
Chairman - The Board of Pardons
-
Member - The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council
-
Member - The Military Base Community Enhancement Commission
-
Chair - The Local Government Advisory Committee
-
President - The Pennsylvania State Senate
For too long, the powers and resources of the Lieutenant Governor's office have been underutilized, and even though Ray is a political outsider, he is uniquely qualified to serve in these positions because:
-
Ray was appointed by three different U.S. Governors to lead districts in coordinating Emergency Management and Response.
-
Ray was Chairman of the Governor's Human Rights Advocacy Committee for 10 years, fighting for hospitals, juveniles justice centers, foster care homes, and nursing homes.
-
For 10 years, Ray provided legislative policy support for three governors.
I am ready to fight for my progressive values and work across the aisle to get the Pennsylvanian government moving again -- because it's not politics, but Pennsylvania that really matters!
