State Rep. Martina White, a Republican, announced that she will be running for re-election in the 170th Legislative District.
“Throughout my time as state representative, I have made it clear that what I care about is getting results that help people, not playing politics,” White said. “Now more than ever, with a divided government and many challenges facing our state, we must continue to work together, restore common sense and find bipartisan solutions.”
White said she has worked to control state spending in Harrisburg, helped job-creating small businesses, secured record education funding for both traditional public education and choice initiatives to help Philadelphia’s children and been a leader in addressing the epidemic of crime impacting the city. She has done it, she said, by working across the aisle and focusing on local priorities.
White said she is running for re-election to fight what she calls out-of-control inflation driven by Washington’s outrageous spending.
“We need to focus on common-sense solutions that help people afford the everyday items they need to live and that make life just a little easier,” she said. “I’ll continue to fight for the fiscally conservative policies that have kept our state budget in check, focused on priorities, and respected taxpayers.”
White pledged to continue to focus on the issues that the people of the community tell her are the most important to them: fighting crime and standing up for crime victims, supporting an education system that helps everyone and sparking the economic and job growth that allows families to achieve economic security in their homes.
White said she and her staff have handled thousands of constituent service requests.
“Listening to residents, visiting local businesses, meeting with community groups and holding events with constituents is the best way I know how to represent their interests in Harrisburg. That is why it will always be a top priority of my service,” she said.
Democrats have not settled on a candidate. The first day to collect nominating petitions is Jan. 23. ••
