Lentz to Unveil Plan for Moving Economy Forward on Monday

Springfield, PA – Bryan Lentz, the Democratic nominee for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, today announced he would be unveiling his plan for creating good-paying jobs and moving the nation’s economy forward on Monday, beginning with an early-morning appearance on FOX 29’s morning news “Good Day” show at 7:30 a.m.. .

Lentz is releasing his plan following the conclusion of his 10-week, 25-stop jobs tour that included visits with business owners and working families throughout Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties. Lentz used the input he gathered during his tour to fine tune and develop his common sense proposals that would encourage businesses to boost investment and hire new employees.

“Many of the companies I visited in the 7th District are competing and winning in the global economy, and their thoughts on what needed to be done to help them stay out in front of their foreign competitors played a large role in the development of this plan,“ Lentz said. “This plan reflects the collective experience of our businesses and hard-working families throughout the District.”

Lentz’s tour took him to businesses in a range of industries that are a key part of the regional economy, including manufacturing, bio-tech, defense and educational institutions. He also held a series of town halls on jobs and the economy to listen to the concerns of working families.

The release of Lentz’s plan will come a little over a week after his Republican opponent released a jobs plan that included $1.75 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, a plan that would leave working class families across the nation responsible for paying down the national debt.
A former Airborne Ranger, criminal prosecutor and Iraq War veteran, Bryan Lentz currently serves in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from Delaware County. He was awarded both the Bronze Star for Service and the War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal for his military service. He lives in Swarthmore with his wife Jennifer and their son Thomas.
