| - Dear Friend, Today, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. I believe public service is a calling and when I answered that call as U.S. Attorney and District Attorney, I brought with me a set of guiding principles: faith, integrity, hard work, and accountability. Those are the same principles that I saw lived out by my mother and father and the families in my community. Those are the principles that voters want in their elected officials and those are the principles I will bring with me to Washington, DC. Sincerely,Pat Meehan

| - Dear Friend, Today, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District. I believe public service is a calling and when I answered that call as U.S. Attorney and District Attorney, I brought with me a set of guiding principles: faith, integrity, hard work, and accountability. Those are the same principles that I saw lived out by my mother and father and the families in my community. Those are the principles that voters want in their elected officials and those are the principles I will bring with me to Washington, DC. Traveling across the region and state these past months, I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with many local residents. They have told me they feel their voice is not being heard in Washington, that their representatives have sold them out to special interests, that government is being imposed on them, rather than working for them. It is time our elected officials be made to answer for the decisions they make about our money and about our children’s future. Many of the challenges confronting us here at home transcend state lines—whether it’s strengthening the economy, keeping down health care costs, or helping small businesses—and the solutions will be determined in Congress. I will fight to restore integrity to our nation’s capital and ensure that the voice of local voters is heard on critical issues like taxes, jobs, health care, and restoring fiscal responsibility to the federal government. Voters are concerned as our national debt is expected to double in the next three years and triple within a decade to an astonishing $10 trillion. This type of unchecked spending leads to inflation, higher job-killing taxes, and a burden of enormous debt that our children and their children will carry like a millstone for generations. I hope that I can count on your support as we embark on this important journey.
