HAZLETON – Here’s what other people are saying about the performance of U.S. Congressional candidate Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta during Wednesday’s debate with Congressman Paul Kanjorski.
State Sen. Lisa Baker
“Lou Barletta showed tonight exactly why he’s the favorite in this race. He has a solid grasp of the issues facing our country and most importantly, he understands the needs of the people of northeastern Pennsylvania.”
Kevin Shivers, State Director, National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s leading small business group
“Lou Barletta tonight showed us why he will make a great Congressman for the 11th district. As a wildly popular mayor and successful family businessman, Lou Barletta has the experience to help local businesses create jobs and protect the jobs we already have. Tonight, Lou Barletta showed us he is prepared to lead.”
Nancy Krake, President, IAM Local 2462
“Lou Barletta is a refreshing voice and the change we need in Washington. I’m very proud to support him, especially after his debate tonight. I thought he spoke about real reform.”
Dave Gervasi, Vice President, Scranton Firefighters Local 60
“Lou Barletta truly looked like a leader tonight. He was clear and direct, and very concise in his answers. He was honest and sincere. I want him to be my congressman. Lou is a fighter, and we need someone to fight for us in Congress. He sounded like a Congressman who has solutions.”
John Velleco, Director of Federal Affairs, Gun Owners of America
"Mayor Lou Barletta exhibited the type of bold leadership so desperately needed in Washington. The Mayor understands that gun control laws turn decent citizens into easy targets for criminals. Lou Barletta will fight to protect the right of citizens to keep and bear arms for the defense of themselves and their loved ones.”
Jim Becker, Stroudsburg-area businessman
“For any voter who was undecided about this election, Lou Barletta tonight sealed the deal. With so many jobs on the line in this tough economy, small businesses and working families need a representative in Washington they can trust and respect. Just like he's done as the Mayor of Hazleton, Lou Barletta tonight showed us he isn't willing to back down from a fight. He showed us he has the know-how and the guts to do whatever it takes to bring jobs to the area and be a strong voice for all of the people of this Congressional district.”
