Senator Marty Flynn was born and raised in Scranton, PA, and had a decade-long career as a professional boxer. Flynn worked as the Inmate Education and Program Coordinator at Lackawanna County Prison, where he also served as Chairman of the Prison Misconduct Board. After serving 8 years in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 113th District, Flynn was elected as Senator for the 22nd District in 2021 where he is currently a member of the Appropriations Committee, the Community, Economic, and Recreational Development Committee, and as Democratic Chair of the Transportation Committee.
In the state legislature, the majority party has absolute control over the legislative and budget process, including what bills are given a vote and what spending priorities are made. For the last generation, nearly a quarter century, the Republican party has had near complete control of the General Assembly.
In that time, the legislature failed to respond to the most pressing needs of our Commonwealth. They have become even more extreme and push divisive bills rather than working across the aisle to get things done for Pennsylvania. The GOP majority refused to vote on bills to end price gouging and lower costs for everyday Pennsylvanians. They are trying to ban abortion and limit our right to vote in free and fair elections. They failed to address decades of crippling property taxes or fully fund our public schools.
A new majority controlled by the Democratic Party would be a breath of fresh air. That majority would prioritize a living wage for every Pennsylvanian, pass paid leave for all workers, provide funding for our schools and communities, and protect our rights and freedoms.
We recommend Marty Flynn as the choice in the best interest of Pennsylvania.
