Harrisburg, Pennsylvania—Last night, Dave McCormick showed Pennsylvanians that he should be the Keystone State’s next senator.
AFP Action Senior Advisory Emily Greene issued the following statement after Dave McCormick won his first debate against incumbent Senator Bob Casey Jr.
“Here are five key takeaways for Pennsylvania voters:
- Polling shows that Americans agree that now is not the time to raise taxes. Dave McCormick has promised to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Bob Casey Jr. voted against it.
- Dave McCormick is a new leader with a fresh perspective and appreciation for Pennsylvania voters. Bob Casey has been in office for nearly 20 years and rubber-stamped the Biden-Harris economic agenda; he votes with them 98% of the time.
- Dave McCormick is a job creator and understands the policies that help grow the economy and expand economic opportunity. Bob Casey voted for inflation and then blamed job creators for increased consumer prices because he won’t own his own record.
- Dave McCormick is serious about border security. Bob Casey Jr. voted against securing the border even though over 18,000 Pennsylvanians have fallen victim to the fentanyl crisis that’s perpetuated by the open border policies supported by Casey and the Biden-Harris Administration.
- Pennsylvania’s energy sector is ready and willing to power the nation. Only one candidate has credibility when it comes to embracing an all-of-the-above approach, and that’s Dave McCormick. On the other hand, Bob Casey has voted to increase red tape on energy production and won’t be the energy champion that Pennsylvania needs.”
