BREAKING: PA-16: Lloyd Smucker Announces Congressional Campaign
PoliticsPA ^ | November 9th, 2015 | Nick Field

State Senator Lloyd Smucker is running for Congress.

Sen. Smucker will be seeking the seat in PA’s 16th district, which Congressman Joe Pitts has represented since 1997. Rep. Pitts announced his impending retirement last week.

Smucker has represented Pennsylvania’s 13th Senate district since 2009.

“Today, I am excited to announce that I am running for Congress,” Smucker stated. “As a small business owner who understands what it takes to make a budget, I promise to be an effective problem solver who will go to Washington, D.C. to build consensus on issues that will benefit the residents of the 16th Congressional District, including improving efficiencies in government and ensuring fiscal responsibility.”

This is a safe Republican district, so we should support the most conservative candidate running. I wonder what the local TEA Party has to say?

I thought Lloyd Smucker was from the Smucker Jelly family, but I don’t think he is. He attended a Mennonite school.

Wonder if his mother campaigns with him? If so, would think he’s careful about how he introduces her. OTOH, his name would be difficult to forget!

The jelly jokes are already coming in, which is fine, but he attended a Mennonite school. That’s a very good sign IMHO.

Mother Smucker is a nice lady, I’m sure.
