Springfield, PA, July 27 – Representative Bryan Lentz, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, kicked off a ten-week, 25-stop economic regional listening tour on Tuesday with a stop at Aston-based manufacturer New Way Air Bearings on Tuesday.
The visit to New Way included a private meeting between Lentz and several executives from the company, including Founder and Chief Technology Officer Drew Devitt and President and CEO Nick Hackett. That meeting was followed by a tour of the factory floor, where Lentz viewed precision tooling machines the company uses to manufacture machine parts for the semiconductor and flat panel television industries and spoke with some of the skilled employees who operate them.
Bryan Lentz is a former Airborne Ranger, prosecutor, Iraq War veteran and legislator with the experience, leadership and integrity to fight for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District. He served our country with distinction in the 82nd Airborne Division and among his official commendations is the War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and the Bronze Star for Service.
My good friend Congressman Joe Sestak endorsed me this morning in my run for Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District seat. Joe believes that I am the candidate best able to continue to build upon his accomplishments in Washington. I am humbled by his faith in me and proud to accept his endorsement. It is indeed high praise when Joe Sestak says, "I cannot think of anyone who I’d rather have as my Congressman than Bryan Lentz."
I will strive to live up to the high standards he established as the representative of everyone in the 7th District.
Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania and includes a majority of Delaware County and portions of Chester and Montgomery Counties.
The district is home to several colleges and universities, including Swarthmore College, Haverford College, Villanova University, Cabrini College and Delaware County Community College, as well as Boeing’s helicopter facility in Ridley Park.
President Barack Obama carried the district in 2008 with 56 percent of the vote and U.S. Representative Joe Sestak won re-election that year by almost 20 points. The district has also voted for Senator Bob Casey and Governor Ed Rendell in recent years.
