On May 17, I’ll be voting for Dave White for governor and here’s why:

Dave is the ninth of 14 children. Dave went to vo-tech, became a steamfitter, joined the union to support his family. He is the father of four children, one of whom is profoundly handicapped.

Dave and his wife later started a business that now employs 80 people and is valued at $65 million.

One of Dave’s commercials shows a group of kids wearing T shirts that read “RACIST” on the front. Dave’s message is that these kids are not racist and will not be taught CRT in schools if he is elected. I called his campaign office to express my approval, and Dave White answered the phone!

Recently Dave toured Oberg Industries, Penn United Technologies, Associated Ceramics, and the Butler vo-tech. The management of these companies shared problems of the supply chain, finding employees, and dealing with state permits. They agreed that Pennsylvania seems to discourage rather than support the growth of business. Dave knew what they meant; he has dealt with it.

Dave is Catholic, pro-life, and pro-school choice. He hasn’t been tainted by the bureaucratic attitude that rewards bad performance with a promotion rather than dismissal.

Republicans must remember that there are two elections to win. After the primary we must beat Josh Shapiro, the Dem running for governor. As a person who has worked in the trades, and then employed tradesmen, Dave is in the best position to win those Democrat votes.
