WASHINGTON, DC – Democratic Lt. Governors Association (DLGA) Executive Director Kevin Holst released the following statement in response to the launch of Jason Richey’s campaign for Pennsylvania Lt. Governor:
“At a time when Pennsylvanians are worried about Trump unleashing violence in our communities and driving up costs, Jason Richey offers nothing but the same tired, extreme Republican playbook that hurts working people, weakens our schools, and drives up the cost of living.
“His record speaks for itself: Richey has sought to control school curricula under the guise of ‘critical race theory’ bans, roll back voting rights by eliminating mail-in voting, and impose extreme restrictions on abortion access.
“The choice is clear: Pennsylvania can move forward with Lt. Governor Austin Davis, who’s focused on protecting our rights, lowering costs, and delivering real results—or we can let Richey drag us backward with dangerous policies that will drive up costs for families and make our communities less safe.”
