As a former Navy fighter pilot, I know firsthand how critical it is to stay oriented. When you’re moving at 500 knots in every direction, staying oriented to your immediate surroundings and to the broader mission is critical to winning the battle and winning the war.

Today, far too many of our political leaders have lost their orientation towards common American priorities. I believe we can do better. I believe we must do better.

We need principled leaders who show up and put service to others and country before themselves. That’s why I have some exciting news that I can’t wait to share: I’m running to represent Pennsylvania’s First District in Congress.

In order to change the culture of our democracy and bring real leadership to Southeastern Pennsylvania, we’ll need to build a strong grassroots movement. I’d like to invite you to join us from the very beginning and help kick off my campaign by becoming a founding donor today.

I’m running for Congress because I love this country, and I believe that the right kind of leadership can reorient the debate and renew focus on solutions. Whether it’s health care, education, Social Security, equality, immigration, gun violence, voting rights, or climate change, fighting for Southeastern Pennsylvania will always be my mission.

I’m committed to serving in support of families, because as a husband and father of three children, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to raise a family in today’s world.

I’m committed to advocating for affordable and accessible health care, because I’ve dealt with the frustration and anxiety of skyrocketing prescription drug costs while trying to get my wife and son with Type 1 Diabetes the care they need.

I’m committed to fighting for our small businesses, because as a leader of a small technology company that struggled to maintain a skilled workforce during the pandemic, I know how difficult it is to survive in today’s economic environment.

Our government today is desperate for a new kind of leadership, and I’m ready to do my part. Winning in PA-01 won’t be easy, but if you’re up for the challenge, I’d be so grateful if you could chip in a few dollars to help kick off my campaign.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

One thing I learned from the military is that you’re only as successful as the team around you, and I know that this is going to be the team to get it done. I hope you will join me.

Best regards,

Paul Fermo
Candidate for Congress
