More Endorsements for Anne Scheuring

From the inbox:


On Wednesday evening about a dozen prominent members from the Lansdale community gathered to support one of their own, Anne Scheuring for State Senate in September’s special election to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Wonderling earlier this summer.

“Anne Scheuring is like your friendly neighbor next door. She's very involved in what's going on in our community. She will be an asset in Harrisburg representing
families and the business community in our area” said Richard Digregio, Vice-President of Lansdale Borough Council.

“Anne will be a refreshing change that is so sorely needed in Harrisburg,” said Bill Henning, member of Borough Council. “She is someone who uses a strong common sense approach to tackle issues rather than one with political motivations. I am confident that as more people meet and get to know her they we see that too.”

“The people of the 24th District have had enough of politics as usual in Harrisburg. I’ve had enough. I am running because it’s time to bring an independent voice to Harrisburg, someone who will stand up for the people in the district, not someone who will continue the same games” said Scheuring. “I’m ready to go to Harrisburg to fight for better education for our children, for greater accessibility to healthcare and more government accountability, which is so sorely needed.”

Anne Scheuring has served as a member of Lansdale Borough Council since January of 2008. She is the Chair of the Board of Parks and Recreation and on the Code and Enforcement Committee.

When asked about serving with Anne on Council, Council President Jack Hansen had this to say “Anne Scheuring is the most capable person I know for the State Senate. She is not a Harrisburg insider, she is one of us. What we are missing in politics today are people who really care about those they serve, Anne really does care. She gives her time and her abilities at a moment’s notice. Not for her, but for our community. We will miss her in Lansdale but the Commonwealth will get a real jewel and the people of the 24th District will reap the benefits.”

Anne Scheuring is a Lansdale Councilwoman, wife, mother of four and grandmother of seven. She is a lifelong Lansdale resident and is active in many community organizations. She is the Democratic candidate for the 24th State Senate District special election on September 29th.
