Young Dems getting the band back together

I have always been a supporter of our local chapters of the Young Democrats and Young Republicans in Luzerne County . Both outfits have very generous to me over the years.

 Just looking at their Facebook pages they both have been dormant since 2013 so it's good to see one of the organizations getting back in gear.

  2016 is a very important Presidential Election and no matter who you are supporting it is important to come out to get the ball rolling. In addition 2015 can be a great opportunity to get a new crop of Democrats elected on the Municipal level and get geared up for the 2016 Primary and General Election.
We will also discuss officer elections and possibly be joined by 2015 candidates!

Thanks
YDs President Thomas Shubilla

I hope to see the Young Republicans  become active again.  Under Bob Zaruta they put on a great event Youth in Politics. Frank Mazza is now the President but he is busy working for Pat Toomey and is a Temple fan

Young Republicans have a new leader

Congrats to Frank Mazza who has been elected to succeed Bob Zaruta as Chairman of the Luzerne County Young Republicans. Bob has led the group in a conservative direction declining to endorse some Republican candidates. Bob tells me he is looking at starting an internet venture.

 

 

State Committee

This feature is working out better than I thought it would. We have had 2 Democrats so now it's time for our first Republican guest poster. Full list of candidates on the Luzerne County website.

Hello All,

With just a few weeks away I wanted to remind everyone that it is so important to exercise your right to vote and that all of you who are registered republicans in Luzerne County I hope that if you seek change here in the county, if you want to be proud to reside here, and if you want to trust in our elected officials again, I ask that you vote for me for Republican State Committee and together we'll put our county back on the right track again.

Through the election of true conservative candidates who value integrity, prudence, and responsibility in the execution of their duties as elected officials, we can create the change we need in the hope of making the future of this county much brighter for the next generation of citizens. Not only should our public officials hold these personal values, but they should seek to protect our interests as Pennsylvanians both in Harrisburg and Washington.

First and foremost, for too long elected officials, both Democrat and Republicans alike, have created an environment of apathy and discontent, which has led to such widespread corruption on so many levels that it is no surprise to open up the newspaper on a daily basis to see another elected official being investigated for some ethical and/or legal matter related to their conduct as public officials. We need to put a stop to the corruption and return the trust of the people and create an environment where citizens want to participate in our state and local government and ensure that the future of our county shines much brighter than those dark days we have become so accustomed to.

Secondly, we need conservative elected officials to believe that the way to rebuild our economy is through using fiscally responsible ideas and continue to push for new, innovative ways to create small business opportunities that are so vital to sustaining our local economy.

Lastly, we need conservative leaders who look to strengthen our communities because the citizens of Pennsylvania deserve to live in a Pennsylvania that creates hope and opportunity for its citizens, not despair and distrust. Our children and grandchildren deserve all the opportunities to succeed in the 21st century and without the right leadership, we cannot create an environment for success.

I hope that those of you who believe that there are better days ahead for us here in Pennsylvania and in Luzerne County, who believe that the corruption has gone on for too long and we need leaders who will bring responsibility and trust to the table every day, and who want to create an environment for our citizens where hope and hard work lead to success, I ask that you vote for me on May 18th, and together we can be the change we need and make our community, state, and country, great again.

Thank you and God Bless,

Frank J. Mazza
Candidate for republican State Committee
