A West Chester area man has announced his intention to seek the Republican endorsement for State Representative in Pennsylvania’s 158th District.
Eric Roe informed the Republican Committee of Chester County earlier this week of his intention to seek retiring Representative Chris Ross’ seat in 2016.
Roe said, “The Republican Committee of Chester County, led by chairman Val DiGiorgio, is incredibly well-run.”
In his letter to the Republican county committee members Roe said, “Rarely does a volunteer organization operate as effectively and efficiently as our Republican Committee.”
Chester County has been led by Republican leadership for 150 years and under that leadership, Chester County has been recognized by Moody’s Investor Service as “One of the Top 24 Best Managed Counties in America” and Forbes.com called Chester County “One of the Top 10 Places in the Country to Raise a Family.”
Roe is currently the administrative analyst for Commissioner Michelle Kichline and has previously served at the Republican National Committee in Washington from 2009 to 2011, where he was Chairman Michael Steele’s staffer during the 2010 midterm election. Later, he served as Special Assistant at former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff’s homeland security consulting firm, The Chertoff Group LLC. In 2012, Roe helped run the regional CPAC events for the American Conservative Union. He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from American University and a master’s degree in public policy from University College London.
“My legislative priorities are in line with the unalienable rights found in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is important for us to defend the defenseless, including the unborn. Stopping higher taxes from eroding our freedoms is a high priority.”
