Jack Fisher, President of the Erie-Crawford Central Labor Council joined today by members of the council met for an endorsement in Pennsylvanial’s 3rd Congressional District.  The council will endorse Kathy Dahlkemper in her election against Republican Phil English.

WASHINGTON - It would be difficult to think that U.S. Rep. Phil English’s constituents already don’t know all there is to know about their congressman. After all, the Erie Republican has held his northwest Pennsylvania-area seat for 14 years.

But in a recent interview in his Capitol Hill office, English stressed that he was prepared to take significant steps in his re-election campaign to reach out to voters who, he said, weren’t fully aware of his independent-minded record.

“The way we look at it is, we will be taking some unusual tactics to be adapting to this unusual environment and that’s going to include messaging to a lot of independent voters to convey to them my track record which is very different than many perhaps have expected,” he said.
