Dear Members of the Gertrude Stein Club--
Thank you for endorsing my candidacy in the 21st Pennsylvania House District. I truly appreciate your support. 
I am a staunch adherent to the constitutional rights provided to all citizens in this country. I will fight intolerance, ignorance, and clandestine legislation designed to exclude any group of citizens in the Commonwealth from their legal rights. 
In order to attract professional talent and enhance the regional growth in southwest Pennsylvania, we need to have a “Blue Sky” mentality, and be sure not to exclude the visions of all our neighbors. So often, we hear from the same people, who bring their antiquated ways of thinking to the table over and over. I want to ensure that different ideas and diverse opinions are always available in my decision making. 
Again, thank you so much for honoring me with your endorsement. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Yours truly, Lisa Bennington
Candidate, PA House District 21
