The results speak for themselves. In 2025, Democrats didn’t field a single row office candidate in Westmoreland County. That shouldn’t happen, and it’s a sign something isn’t working the way it should.
A healthy party recruits candidates, builds a bench and shows up in every race. If we don’t compete everywhere, we lose everywhere, and that is exactly what we are seeing play out locally. Over time, not showing up has real consequences. It weakens the party, discourages volunteers and makes it harder to rebuild.
The Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee is supposed to help guide the party and organize Democrats up and down the ballot. That responsibility matters, especially in places like Westmoreland. It is fair to ask a simple question: where are the results?
That is why I am supporting 3GenDems. Their focus is straightforward. Rebuild the local party, recruit candidates early and invest in grassroots organizing so we are actually competing again.
Westmoreland Democrats deserve leadership that is willing to fix what is not working, not just defend it.
