John,
Good afternoon, and welcome to our
Weekend Update.
What a great week in our campaign to
deliver Pennsylvania’s critically important 19 electoral votes to
President Donald J. Trump. On Wednesday, Fox News and Sean
Hannity hosted a town hall at the Farm Show Arena in Harrisburg. This
was meant to be the first debate, but Kamala Harris didn’t show.
President Trump did a fantastic job. Click

We are entering another important week as
Pennsylvania will host the first presidential debate between President
Trump and Harris. Voters across America will hear a clear contrast
between the two candidates and their visions for our nation’s future.
I am confident that President Trump will again deliver a passionate
and optimistic vision to get our country’s economy moving in a
positive direction, end out-of-control inflation, create
family-sustaining jobs, end the invasion at our southern border,
promote peace through a strength national defense strategy, and
ultimately Make America Great Again. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris will
likely continue to lie about her positions while simultaneously
promising to continue the failed policy agenda of the past four years.
The debate is live on Tuesday, September 9, at 9 p.m. on ABC
and nearly every other major news network.
Election Day is rapidly approaching—it is
just 58 Days away. We have launched a page on our website that tracks
important registration dates and deadlines for submitting mail-in and
absentee ballots. Click

Kamala Harris’ attempted flip-flop on her
anti-energy views is leading Pennsylvanians to ask… was she fracking
lying then, or is she fracking lying now?
The Biden-Harris Administration has had
an all-out assault on domestic energy, including on natural gas in
Pennsylvania. From blocking pipelines to increased energy taxes,
crippling regulations, and banning LNG exports, this Administration’s
energy policies have been detrimental to the Commonwealth and our
country. I joined "The Big Money Show" on Fox Business to
discuss further. Click

The economic growth during the Trump Presidency was
remarkable.
President Trump's clear plan this week at an address in New York
City will lead to economic, energy, manufacturing, and technological
greatness. He outlined a strong plan for our future, leading to
prosperity for all Americans. Through tax, regulatory, and energy
reforms, we will correct course and Make America Great Again! I joined
the "American Agenda" on Newsmax. Click

Check out my interview on The John
Steigerwald Show. We covered President Donald Trump's town hall,
Kamala Harris’s visit to Pennsylvania, the numerous policy failures of
the Biden-Harris Administration, and a look ahead at the Pennsylvania
election. Click

America can’t afford four more years of Harris-Biden policies
that put the American worker last. This week's job reports reinforce
that US employers don’t trust that they can sustain themselves under
the boot of Comrade Kamala’s restrictive tax policies and
over-regulation. Under the leadership of President Donald Trump and
Republicans in Congress, we will stop outsourcing and turn the US into
a manufacturing superpower again. The Trump plan to use aggressive
tariffs to target companies that outsource jobs and do not manufacture
products in the United States will benefit all Americans.
We want to empower American companies and workers, not add
additional taxes and regulations that are more burdensome. I joined
WEEU 830 AM to discuss this further. Click

IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA: While Kamala Harris likes to brag about how
great the economy is doing under the Harris-Biden administration, the
numbers continue to paint a different picture.
Job growth was much
lower than expected in August, while revisions over the previous
two months indicate gaping holes in Kamala’s economy — as fears of a
Kamala-induced recession continue
to mount.
The economy added just 142,000
jobs in August — far lower than
economists’ expectations — as the labor market continues its
slowdown. The number of jobs reported in June has now been revised
down on two separate occasions, a trend that has continued over 11
of the past 15 months.
The net job growth in August came largely
from part-time employment, while full-time jobs “plummeted” —
a clear sign Americans are in distress, economists
say.
In fact, the number of people working
part-time for economic reasons shot up by 264,000 in
August alone — and 614,000 over
the last year — as Americans struggle to make ends meet in Kamala’s
economy. That’s the highest number since May
2021.
The economy lost 24,000
jobs in the manufacturing sector alone last month.
Things are great — if you’re not
an American. Over the last 12 months, 1.3 million native-born
Americans LOST employment,
while 1.2 million foreign-born workers GAINED employment.
As many as 768,000 native-born Americans LEFT the
labor force, while 1.5 million foreign-born workers JOINED the
labor force.
Inflation is out of control.
Just wait until Kamala raises taxes by $5
trillion and destroys the
economy for good.
The only way back to prosperity
is by re-electing President Donald J. Trump in
November.
Around the District:
I'm happy to announce that my office has
secured $213,177 in federal funding for the Wyoming County Healthcare
Center. This grant will create jobs and improve healthcare access for
thousands of residents in rural areas. Equipping our healthcare
centers with the necessary tools and resources ensures that every
patient receives the high-quality care they deserve. This funding
exemplifies my office’s commitment to strengthening rural healthcare.
I will continue working in Congress to improve access to care and
address the industry's workforce shortages in rural Pennsylvania. Click

On Wednesday, I enjoyed providing a
legislative update to the Williamsport/Lycoming Chamber of Commerce. I
will continue advocating for pro-growth policies that benefit Main
Street America in Congress. We must improve access to capital,
preserve the small business provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
and cut burdensome regulations that hinder entrepreneurs' success.
Thank you to Jason Fink, President and
CEO of the Chamber, for hosting the event. I always appreciate the
thoughtful questions and feedback to ensure our business community's
voices are heard in Congress. The Williamsport Sun-Gazette
covered my visit.

Afterward, I joined Dave McCormick and
Barry Schlouch for a great luncheon in Berks County, where we
discussed issues facing Pennsylvanians and the private sector. Dave is
picking up momentum daily as we head into the November 5th
election.
Later, I attended the Fox News
town hall with Sean Hannity and President Trump at the New Holland
Arena in Harrisburg.
On Thursday, I taped a great show with
Sam Lesante. We discussed the upcoming election and many hot topics.

Thursday night, Shelley and I attended a
great fundraiser in Towanda to support the re-election of our State
Treasurer, Stacy Garrity. We need to ensure our great statewide GOP
ticket wins in November.
- Stacy Garrity for Treasurer
- Tim Defoor for Auditor General
- Dave Sunday for Attorney General
On Friday, I attended the Luzerne County
Fair. It was extremely well attended, organized, clean, and had a
great atmosphere. Congratulations and thanks to Brenda Pugh for her
over ten years of leadership as President of the Fair. It took a lot
of work, management, and organization to make the fair so special for
all. Thanks, Brenda, and we look forward to getting you elected to the
State House in November.
