==Self Bio==
Keith Rothfus brings a wide range of experience and a deep commitment to princple to his campaign for US Congress.
After graduating from Notre Dame Law School twenty years ago, Keith, his wife, Elsie, and their young daughter moved to southwestern PA. Keith and Elsie reside in Allegheny County, in the same neighborhood where Elsie was raised, and that young daughter is now a sophomre in college and the oldest of six children.
Most of Keith's professional life has been as an attorney in the sector, working with large and small businesses as they strive to expand and create the jobs and opportunities that will shape the future of our country. He has seen firsthand the impact high taxes, onerous regulation and ill-conceived policies have on the lives of the people in western PA.
From 2005 to 2007, Keith established and lead a new office at the Department of Homeland Security. This office was created to assist local faith-based and community organizations providing disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters.
Keith's approach to healthcare is shaped by his own experience as a cancer survivor. Keith benefited from having access to the world's best health care right here in the US, where innovation was allowed to flourish and develop the cure he received. Eighteen months after major surgery, he ran his first marathon. This result is a far cry from a government-run health care system would have produced.
Keith's campaign for Congress has strong support from many residents across the district from the Ohio state line to Murrysville -- Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who all believe the time has come to elect a citizen candidate instead of a professional politician and a lawmaker who not only shares their vallues but is not afraid to be a leader.
