As we all consider the leadership of the 59th Congressional District, I recommend John Bippus.

At a time when we are all losing faith in our elected officials, John Bippus is a breath of fresh air. In my meetings and dealings with John he has shown himself to be supremely interested and active in the communities he will serve.

Most important, however, is John’s dedication to servant leadership, honesty, integrity and good old-fashioned common sense.

I believe that John will make an excellent State Representative and will serve the interests of all of us no matter which side of the political divide.

Our community can look forward to having someone in office who will be a shining example to our young people and is sure to restore our faith in the political system.
