President Donald Trump - Latrobe Rally
President Trump spoke to us with Air Force One in the background at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, PA. This is a President who cares about his country and future. This is COVID-19 time and you could NOT enter the hanger after going through Secret Service screening without a mask. The Trump event staff passed out thousands of masks and hand sanitizers. However, a lot of people took theirs off. I wore mine all the time and I wish President Trump and Vice President Pence all the best in the upcoming election.
Vice President Mike Pence
It was a nice day today in Greensburg having the Vice President of the United States stop in for his support. Vice President Mike Pence greeted the crowds with warm and kind enthusiasm. We wish the Vice President and President all the best. I'm with Tricia Cunningham and the Blue Knights. Every person is important!
Congressman Mike Kelly: Washtington D.C.
This was the room where the Congress started the Impeachment of President Trump. I want to start speaking about TERM LIMITS for the Congress of the United States. I would suggest the maximum time of service would be 12 years. I would change the term for the Representative to a 4-year term and half the house be elected every 2 years. Service grand total in both chambers cannot be more than 12 years.

As a Commissioner I will work with our Economic Development Agencies to ensure that companies and businesses will have the co-operation and support of your local government to be successful.
Westmoreland County Fair
The best part of running for office is meeting great people. I was very fortunate to meet with the Jobe Family. Showing off one of their event entries is Lance, Colleen, and Alli Jobe. Out of picture was Aspen Jobe. The dedicated, hard work of families like the Jobe family benefits everyone in the community. Thank you for what you do!!
Listening and talking with members of the 4-H Club at the fair was inspiring. The hard work and the impact they have on young peoples' lives is important and they will always have my support as a County Commissioner. Keep up the great service to our community!
Angelo Poulich and his wife own and run one of the best tasting barbeque grills in the area. Yes, I did eat there both nights at the fair and it was excellent!! Small businesses like Poulich Pit BBQ make our community grow. www.poulichpitbbq.com . Also, listening to people and what is important to them is one reason why I am running for office.
As a County Commissioner, I will dedicate my service to protecting our seniors and our kids. Also, listening and enjoying time with them at the fair was a highlight for me. I have a great sense of humor and it's who I am.
Running into old friends at the fair is priceless. That is one of the best parts of public service, talking with old friends and seeing how they are doing. Ruth and Don Trumbetta have been friends of my family and me for years. Thank you for being my friend!!
Court House Research
I started my research at the Westmoreland County Election’s Bureau. I looked at the campaign contributions and....oh boy, this was an eye opener……stay tuned……
Honoring Veterans - Memorial Day
Every year we pause and pay tribute to our veterans who have served our nation on Memorial Day.

Radio Talk Show Hosts - Quinn & Rose
I thanked Radio Talk Show Hosts Jim Quinn and Rose Tennent for their continued support of conservative values and views on the radio. We need a strong, independent, and fair media in our nation, and I respect that under fire from most major news outlets, Quinn and Rose can be heard in these “politically correct” times. Hold onto your beliefs even if others disagree.
State Representative Eric Nelson
State Representative Eric Nelson is amazing! This is a great person that can flip hamburgers better than anyone at Hempfield plus he is our representative! We are with his son at the Congressional meet and greet night in Latrobe with Rick Saccone and Guy Reschenthaler. Good luck!
Congressional Candidate Rick Saccone - Trump Ralley
Worked at President Trump/Vice President Pence Inauguration
It was an honor to work as a staff-volunteer for the Presidential Inaugural Committee in January 2017. Above are pictures, I took during the day. I was stationed in the morning at 13th Street checkpoint. We encountered large numbers of protesters and while some were peaceful, others became violent. Later that afternoon 2 blocks up from where I was standing people got very violent and threw bricks through storefront windows and set on fire a parked limousine. Violence is NEVER the answer.
My Friend Ray Allan - Dedicated to his Memory
With the permission of his wife Sally and family, I dedicate my campaign to Ray Allan, a friend I worked with for 25 years. We lost Ray in December 2016 suddenly and too early. He affected my life and many more in a positive way. We need more people like Ray in our community; a caring, friendly, person.
