Helping Constituents
A State
Representative also has to serve individual constituents who have
problems getting the government to respond to their concerns. Most often
a State Representative will help with problems in state government.
Senior citizens who need to complete the forms for the Pace / Pacenet
senior citizen discount
prescription drug program turn to their State Representative. College
Students who need help receiving grants or loans for college, do so as
well. Our State Representative needs to reach out to the people who need
his help, visiting schools and senior centers. And our State
Representative needs to have a trained staff person who can effectively
guide citizens through the maze of government.
State
Representatives deal first with problems with the state government. But
they should be knowledgeable about the City of
Philadelphia and the Federal Government as well. When a
constituent’s problems can best be solved at those levels of government,
a State Representative should help citizens reach out to the right
people.
As a civic leader
in Mt. Airy, I have worked with our Councilwoman, Donna Reed Miller, and
other members of City Council. I have worked with Congressman Fattah.
Their staff members are friends of mine. I won’t need training time to
serve the citizens in Northwest
Philadelphia. I am ready to go to work for the
198th District right now!
This year, vote for
a State Representative can provide leadership on issues big and small,
not once in a while, but every single day. Back
