Representative Scott Conklin officially announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania today. Conklin said he is humbled by the outpouring of support he has received and plans to take his reform message state-wide.
"It is because I believe in servant leadership. We have come along way over the last few years, 31 reform measures, we have an office of open records so the public can see what is going on, but we need to do more," Conklin said. The representative was urged to run by many who saw his forum on the need for a constitutional convention that aired on PCN. Conklin recognizes that citizens remain frustrated in their government.
"We can take our frustration and turn it into something positive," Conklin said. "This campaign is about taking how frustrated everybody in the state is and making it viable that we can have a better future." Conklin plans to hit the campaign trail later this week and urges all citizens to sign up for his newsletter and keep up to date.
