As Speaker of the PA House of Representatives, Republican Mike Turzai tried to pass a 6-week abortion ban, calling pro-choice activists a “Nazi regime.” He said there was “no such thing as a partisan gerrymander.”
Now, Turzai’s retired, and we’re helping Democrat Emily Skopov flip his seat.
Today, we’re highlighting Emily and 4 other Western PA Democratic women as we work to flip the PA General Assembly.
Democrats nationwide are targeting the PA House and Senate to stop another Republican gerrymander.
Meet the 5 women we’re highlighting today:
State Sen. Pam Iovino (PA-SD37) is a Navy veteran. In 2019, she flipped a State Senate district that Trump won by 6 points in a closely watched special election, and now she’s running for her first full term.
Emily Skopov (PA-HD28) founded “No Crayon Left Behind”, which has delivered over 1.5 million crayons and other school supplies to low-income schools in Pittsburgh and around the world.
Lissa Geiger Shulman (PA-HD30) served as a public school teacher and now advocates for early childhood education. Her opponent co-sponsored a bill to use tax credits to subsidize private schools.
Michele Knoll (PA-HD44) has served as an elementary school teacher, preschool teacher and director and most recently, as a developmental specialist, working with young children to help them meet developmental milestones.
Julie Slomski (PA-SD49) is a lifelong Erie resident that served as Northwest Regional Director for Gov. Tom Wolf.
Let’s win!
