State House candidate Aaron Bernstine issued the following statements on the criminal conviction of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane:
“The past 24 months have seen a cascade of criminal charges against top officials, including two former state treasurers, a half-dozen members of the general assembly, and now the state’s top law enforcement official.”
“The pattern of corruption, self-dealing, and the cynicism that it engenders has done incalculable damage to state government and deepened the chasm of mistrust between citizens and their elected officials. It is shameful that Attorney General Kathleen Kane now stands convicted of a nine counts stretching from perjury to obstruction. It is astonishing that, even after her criminal indictment and the suspension of her law license, she was permitted to remain in office, where she was free to terrorize honest staff.”
“Career politicians and Harrisburg insiders gave us this mess, and I remain committed to bringing an outsider’s perspective to reform the culture of state government and rebuild it into an institution worthy of the peoples’ trust.”
Aaron Bernstine is exactly the man we need leading the 10th District here in Pennsylvania. Jaret Gibbons is a do-nothing politician that gets elected based solely on the fact that he has a “D” after his name. That’s changing this year, big boy. Bernstine for the win. Gibbons for the unemployment line.
