Shaun Dougherty is the Democratic candidate for the State Senate seat in Pennsylvania’s 35th senatorial district. Dougherty is a veteran and small business owner. Dougherty is also a survivor of sexual abuse in the Johnstown-Altoona Diocese and has bravely used his experience to fight for stronger protections for fellow survivors.
Doughtery’s platform is progressive. In office, Doughtery will fight to strengthen unions and end the push for “Right to Work” laws, which undermine unions and working families. He has many plans for reforming education, including statewide internet access, raising teacher salaries and reforming current laws that siphon public funding into private schools. Doughtery supports raising the minimum wage and job creation through the legalization of recreational cannabis.
Shaun Dougherty is challenging Republican incumbent Wayne Langerholc, who has held the seat since 2016. During his first term, Langerholc voted to make it more difficult for injured workers to qualify for worker’s compensation. He also voted to defund poorer school districts in favor of wealthier districts and charter schools. In the middle of a pandemic, Wayne Langerholc 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.
Shaun Doughtery is the clear progressive choice in this race.Shaun Dougherty
