Congressional Spotlight: New Faces on The Hill

981

The November 2010 midterm election was an historic event that enabled Republicans to regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives and gain seats in the Senate, eroding Democrats’ powers of cloture. Now the geographic membership area of the Manufacturer & Business Association (MBA) has three new business-friendly
Republican legislators where tax-and-spend Democrats were once in charge.

One new freshman is Senator Pat Toomey, who is Pennsylvania’s first pro-business Senator since former Senator Rick Santorum. There also are two new freshmen Republican Congressmen, Representatives Mike Kelly (3rd District) and Tom Marino (10th District).

These three legislators will have the exciting opportunity to serve the people of Pennsylvania at this important juncture, standing for the principles of a free-market economy and smaller government.
