Re: The York County Primary lineup
Unfortunately, York County is sooo Republican that pulling the R lever is the easy way out. It doesn't require voters to do their homework before entering the voting booth.

From the election bureau numbers:
35 % Democrat
48 % GOP
17 % Independent & minor parties
The York County Democratic party does itself no favor by rolling over. Irrelevance becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Re: The York County Primary lineup
In York County the problem is finding and electing Republicans to do the job people need done at least till credible alternatives can be found.

Re: The York County Primary lineup
Kristin Phillips-Hill and Keith Gillespie are doing a great job and stand out from the rest...yes, that includes Stan Saylor.
I'm pleased that both of them can concentrate on making legistlation rather than building campaign funds.

Re: The York County Primary lineup
Stan Saylor . . . . We may as well have a box of rocks representing us. He enjoys flaunting his senior status in the house, but does nothing FOR his constituents. The guy is waiting out his retirement. He and his staff refuse to even answer inquiries from citizens within his district. Non-responsive and inactive -- those are traits I look for in an effective legislator. That last statement should be in the sarcasm font, just to be clear.

Re: The York County Primary lineup
Stan Saylor has been ZERO help with the school property tax issue. He talks a good game but then does nothing to deliver on the issue. Each year it's his #1 priority and each year nothing is done. He has failed homeowners time after time. But each election people vote him back in. I do not understand it?

Kristin Phillips-Hill does a super job for us. She responds personally to every e mail she receives.

Re: The York County Primary lineup
I'm hoping that Kate Klunk gets a challenger down here in the 169th. As a "new" district we had no incumbent and a crowded race of generally unheard-of candidates. Kate has spent her time in office drafting lengthy, partisan emails and tweeting out photos from her public appearances. I can't find anything really substantial that she's managed to do and I get the impression that she's attaching herself to the Scott Wagner / Tea Party train that has elected some pretty radical conservative voices around here. I understand that's a great strategy to get re-elected, but as far as results go she's been lacking. But, relatively speaking, the entire legislature has been lacking. The emails I get back from her seem to be written personally, but they're full of partisan language and it's pretty clear that she's not open-minded on the issues that I find important. So yeah, I'm hoping a new face emerges. But it's unlikely.

She has no opposition in either the Primary or the General.
IIRC you've run for public office before....so why didn't you challenge her?
The key to winning elections is to keep slogging away. Even "unsuccessful" campaigns build that all-important name recognition and eventual victory. Consider Judges Mike Flannelly, Chris Menges, and Andrea Marsica Strong.
