Let Lois Shine A Little Light

Lois Herr continues to blaze a courageous path in her campaign against “Pancake Joe” Pitts in the 16th U.S. District from PA.

As noted from her web site, she is the first candidate for elected office in the country to sign a pledge to publish her calendar online for the constituents of her district to demonstrate accountability and provide the best possible service, in cooperation with The Sunlight Network. As she states…

“I’ll be going to Washington to represent the residents of the 16th District, and they deserve to know everything I am doing on their behalf. Anything on my schedule that I’m not willing to reveal to my constituents is something that I shouldn’t be doing on their dime.”

And Lois didn’t need to be arm-twisted to sign the pledge. She had previously made her intentions known to keep an open calendar when she signed the Voter’s First Pledge as part of her campaign commitment to clean elections and Congressional ethics reform.

Lois also demonstrates her commitment to alternative sources of energy by driving an electric car (pictured) to her campaign events.

Also, Lois will debate Rep. Joseph Pitts on Oct. 11 at 12:30 at the Farm & Home Center in Manheim Township. The debate is sponsored by the Lancaster Rotary Club, and the cost of $12 includes lunch. Attendance is limited to members of the Rotary and their guests.
