Letter to the editor: McCormick is from Pa., and is the leader we need

Here we go again. Sen. Bob Casey is accusing Dave McCormick of not being from Pennsylvania. Check your facts, Bob! McCormick was born in Washington, Pa., and attended Bloomsburg High School. This is the same thing the left said about Dr. Oz; look what we got from that.

Hillary Clinton isn’t from New York, Liz Cheney isn’t from Wyoming, Mitt Romney isn’t from Utah and John McCain wasn’t even born in the United States. McCormick and his family own a home in Pittsburgh and maintain the family farm in Bloomsburg.

In order to run for office in Pennsylvania, you must meet the state’s requirements and criteria, and McCormick has done that. It’s just that simple. I’m not from West Mifflin; does that mean I can’t run for office?

It’s time for a leader, not a career politician.
