HD165 has been identified as a key swing district. Democrats must keep this seat to flip the State House and make progress for working families in Pennsylvania.
Democratic representative Jennifer O’Mara is running for reelection to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives seat in the 165th district. O’Mara’s professional background is in education. She went into public service to honor her father, who died tragically by gun suicide, and support the unions that her family depended upon in times of crisis.
O’Mara’s voting record is progressive. She has voted multiple times to protect the legal reproductive rights of Pennsylvanians. In 2019, she voted against efforts to defund public education in poorer districts in favor of wealthier ones. More recently, she’s used her platform to support this year’s historic civil rights protests against racism and police brutality. During the pandemic, O’mara 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.
O’Mara’s opponent is Republican Robert Smythe. Smythe is a firefighter. His policy positions are primarily vague pledges to lower taxes. He has rejected calls to curb the epidemic of police violence against Black Americans.
Jennifer O’Mara is the clear progressive choice in this race.Jennifer O’Mara
