Lentz Holds Town Hall Forum on Reviving Economy

State Representative Bryan Lentz, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, held an economic town hall forum today in Wayne to discuss his plans to revive the nation’s economy and field questions from voters.

The event was attended by more than 50 people, who asked questions on a range of issues, including job creation, reducing the nation’s debt and tax policies.

During the forum, Lentz said he supported giving companies incentives to invest and expand, and providing small businesses with access to loans to bring good-paying jobs to the region.

Lentz also said he supported educational programs in fields where demand for an educated and trained workforce was increasing, like math and engineering, to
make the area attractive for prospective businesses.

“Over the past decade, too much of our country’s focus was on creating wealth through risky investments,” Lentz said. “These steps I am proposing are a foundation for creating jobs here in America in fields and industries that will support working families.”

Lentz has made saving and creating jobs the cornerstone of his campaign for Congress. He is the only candidate with a published plan to get our economy moving again and the only candidate who supports Wall Street reform and the creation of a consumer financial protection agency to ensure another collapse does not happen.

Lentz has also pledged to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas while his opponent Pat Meehan has signed a pledge to continue rewarding companies that outsource American jobs.

A former Airborne Ranger, criminal prosecutor and Iraq War veteran, Bryan Lentz currently serves in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Delaware County.

He was awarded both the Bronze Star for Service and the War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal for his military service. He lives in Swarthmore with his wife Jennifer and
their son Thomas.
