On abc27's This Week in Pennsylvania, Garrity conceded Trump lost in 2020 and spent the rest of the answer undoing it. She would 'absolutely' be more cooperative with the federal demand for Pennsylvania's voter rolls than the Republican who runs the state's elections has been.
After the president said six Democratic veterans had committed sedition 'punishable by DEATH,' one of them was Reschenthaler's neighbor in western Pennsylvania. Three other Pennsylvania Republicans managed to say political violence is wrong. Reschenthaler used his JAG credentials to certify Trump instead.
At a June 2026 courthouse event, his chief of staff told reporters the congressman would only take questions about one grant — then Reschenthaler went behind closed doors. It fits a seven-year pattern: no in-person town halls, about 40 refused TV interview requests, and a tweet about defending the free press.
He signed the term-limits pledge and honored it in each of his first three terms. In his fourth, he skipped it for eight months — but found time to help rename an airport after Trump. Then a billboard appeared on I-70, a reporter asked him about it, and eleven days after that story ran he signed on.
A Democrat toured 15 Pennsylvania counties and heard about data centers more than anything else. Meanwhile all ten of the state's Republicans in the U.S. House voted for a ten-year ban on states enforcing their own AI rules, nine of them voted for a law projected to push power bills higher, and Harrisburg's $2 billion tax break for data centers is still on the books.
The STOCK Act asks members of Congress to do one thing: tell us what they bought and sold, within 45 days. Forty-five of the Republicans on this site couldn't manage it — some by years. The penalty is $200, and it's often waived.
Four of Mike Kelly's car dealerships got pandemic loans in the first two weeks of the program. The bill to publish who got the money named every borrower when it was introduced. By the time it reached the floor, the cutoff had been raised to $2 million — above all four of his loans. He voted no anyway. All $974,100 was later wiped out — $987,237 with interest. He calls student debt relief a 'handout.'
The day after Kelly learned the Butler steel plant would be saved, his wife bought 5,000 shares of the company. Eight months later she cashed out for a $64,476 profit. The House Ethics Committee voted unanimously to reprove him — not for the trade, but for how he answered questions about it.
At a county GOP dinner in March 2017, Pennsylvania's Mike Kelly said Barack Obama stayed in Washington for one reason: to secretly sabotage Donald Trump. He gave the real reason in the same breath. Then his office walked it back twice in one day.
