Pam DeLissio is the Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania State House seat in the 194th legislative district. Her background is in health care, specifically advocating for the vulnerable and elderly.
DeLissio has a consistent record of protecting her constituents, particularly the most vulnerable. In 2018, DeLissio voted against efforts to make it more difficult to qualify for food stamps. Later that year, she also voted to protect access to Medicaid for Pennsylvanians who were too sick to work. In 2019, she voted to stop the elimination of General Assistance, the largest anti-poverty program in the state. During the pandemic, Pam DeLissio voted to provide protective gear, testing, hazard pay, family leave, and preserve disaster declarations put in place to protect Pennsylvanians, even as Republicans almost unanimously voted against all of these measures.
DeLissio is facing Republican candidate Lisa Riley. Riley is a lawyer. Her policy platform is vague, but on her campaign website she attacks poorer school districts and argues they should be defunded. On her social media, she praises the police despite the recent nationwide movement against brutality and racism.
Pam DeLissio is the clear progressive choice in this race.Pam DeLissio
