Letter to the editor: Casey must remain in the Senate

This November, it’s crucial that we vote for a senator who exemplifies integrity and honesty and has the knowledge of what is imperative for growth and prosperity in Pennsylvania.

Sen. Bob Casey is a product of Pennsylvania. His character and beliefs are demonstrated in the number and type of bills he has sponsored. He delivers federal funding for all of our educational programs. He has backed federal investments to improve school facilities, including upgrading indoor air quality for all students. He was crucial in securing nearly $1 billion to address student mental health needs. He believes in universal school meals and reducing gun violence.

He fought to pass the infrastructure bill and celebrated the game-changing investment in the I-83 South Bridge. He helped pass the Railway Safety Act. He has introduced a bill to cap out-of- pocket prescription drug costs for millions of Americans. He is a tireless supporter of Medicare and Medicaid.

Casey needs to remain in the Senate. These are the three key pillars of focus for November:

1. Workers’ rights: Pennsylvania workers have led the labor movement, and Casey has stood by them every step of the way.

2. Women’s rights: Access to birth control, family planning services and more are at stake.

3. Voting rights: Casey is working to ensure all Americans can access the ballot box.

In this critical election where democracy is at stake, supporting Casey is crucial. There is nothing phony about where he lives, how he works and what he believes.
