Donald Trump has been telling supporters at his rallies to “pretend” that he is on the ballot on
November 3rd. Well, here in Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District, you don’t have to
pretend. You have him in the form of Congressman Glenn “G.T.” Thompson.
If you support the unnecessary war with Iran that is contributing to higher gas and diesel prices,
the team of Trump and Thompson is your team. If you support Trump’s tariffs and believe they
are good for the economy and your pocketbook, a vote for Thompson would help keep those
policies in place for the remainder of Trump’s term. And if you support continued deficit
spending, with the national debt now exceeding $40 trillion, you will want to send Thompson
back to Congress for another two years.
But if you’re like me, you’ve had enough of the chaos, unnecessary wars, and wasteful spending.
This November, we have an opportunity to replace Glenn Thompson and chart a different course.
I’m voting for Ray Bilger for Congress.
Ray served in the Air Force during both Desert Shield and Desert Storm, with a career spanning
35 years. I’ve met Ray and heard him speak several times. He has made clear that he intends to
represent the people of the 15th District rather than be a lackey for Donald Trump or either
political party.
Ray says he will work to bring an end to what he considers an unnecessary war, repeal the Trump
tariffs, lower prices, and fight corruption.
On November 3rd, we have a choice about the direction we want our country and our district to
take. I’m voting for Ray Bilger.
