Jim Pio, the Republican candidate in the 172nd Legislative District, joined his wife and campaign staff in preparing a Christmas food basket for a local family. Fox Chase resident Georganne Schleinkofer introduced Pio to a family that needed a helping hand.
“In our community, the holidays are meant to be shared with friends and family, and a lot of this happens at the dinner table. As a lifelong resident of Northeast Philadelphia, I understand how important it is to families in our community to share a good meal with each other over the holidays. I have always believed that it is very important to help my community whenever I am in a position to do so. Although I love the Northeast, our community certainly has its problems. That is why I am running for state representative. I am asking for my neighbors’ votes so I can do even more to help my community by bringing their voice to Harrisburg,” Pio said.
Democrat Kevin Boyle, who represents the 172nd district, is challenging state Sen. John Sabatina Jr. in the April 26 primary. ••
