HD18 has been identified as a key swing district. Democrats must win this seat to flip the State House and make progress for working families in Pennsylvania.
Harold “Howie” Hayes is the Democratic candidate running for the Pennsylvania State House seat in the 18th legislative district. Hayes is a plumber, small business owner, and father. A native of Frankford, Hayes has called Bucks County home for the past decade. After high school, Hayes joined the apprentice program with Plumbers Local 690 and went on to build a business employing dozens of union members. He and his wife work on behalf of local Democratic candidates.
Hayes's platform is progressive. He advocates for worker’s rights to safe working conditions and collective bargaining, and especially to healthcare coverage. He has two young children who are students in the district and is committed to improving educational opportunities for all Pennsylvania’s students. Hayes also believes residents have a right to clean air and water and advocates to protect the environment.
Hayes is running against incumbent Republican Rep. Kathleen (KC) Tomlinson. Hayes narrowly lost a low-turnout special election against Tomlinson in March. On her Facebook page, Tomlinson has attacked the historic civil rights marches against racism and police brutality. In the middle of a pandemic, Tomlinson joined Republicans in their near unanimous vote against providing protective gear, testing, hazard pay, family leave, and preserving disaster declarations put in place to protect Pennsylvanians.
Harold Hayes is the clear progressive choice in this race.Harold Hayes
