Letter to the editor: McCormick a patriotic leader

After 18 long years with a feckless senator representing Pennsylvania, we have the opportunity to elect Dave McCormick, an intelligent and patriotic man of action, to the U.S. Senate.

McCormick is a West Point graduate who proudly served in uniform and at high levels of government. In addition, he spent a number of years in the private sector, rising to CEO of Bridgewater, a global investment firm managing pension funds for teachers and other public servants. A very small portion of those investments were in China. Sen. Bob Casey hired Bridgewater to manage some of the state’s pension assets when he was state treasurer.

As a U.S. senator, Casey has voted virtually in lockstep with the failed policies of President Biden and Vice President Harris. Unlike Casey, McCormick developed and introduced a plan to fortify America’s military and economic strength, thwart China’s aggressive ambitions and protect our homeland.

After visiting our southern border, he’s seen the gaps and the sections of wall material that Biden and Casey have chosen not to install. McCormick has seen migrants flooding in at night and rightly concludes that this is a national security crisis and must be stopped. Migrants are overwhelming our nation and are the conduit for delivery of deadly fentanyl that’s killing so many of our citizens.

Let’s put an end to the destruction of our America brought on by the likes of Casey and Harris. The time is now — vote for a true patriot, Dave Mc- Cormick, for U.S. Senate.
