Bryan Lentz: A Rubber Stamp for Nancy Pelosi

By MEEHAN FOR CONGRESS

DREXEL HILL, PA – State legislator Bryan Lentz further confirmed that he will serve as a rubber stamp to policies supported by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she visited Philadelphia for an exclusive fundraiser to boost Lentz’ campaign for Congress.

“While Bryan Lentz will be rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi’s agenda in Congress, Pat Meehan will serve as a check and balance on some of the liberal policies being pushed through Congress,” said Bryan Kendro, campaign manager for Meehan’s Congressional campaign.  “The differences between the two candidates could not be more clear: Bryan Lentz’ first vote as a member of Congress will be for Nancy Pelosi, Pat Meehan’s will not.”

Kendro noted how rare it was for Pelosi to personally fundraise for individual candidates, attributing it to the fact that Lentz has already come out in favor of much of Pelosi’s agenda. That includes the cap and tax plan which will drive up the costs of energy on consumers and businesses; burdensome and costly new regulations on small businesses; health care legislation that does nothing to control costs; and financial reform that fails to address the problem of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

“In Harrisburg, Bryan Lentz fell in line with his Democratic leaders and voted to increase state spending and raise taxes, and he will do the same in Washington,” said Kendro.  “We can’t afford another Pelosi disciple like Lentz in our Congress.  Pat Meehan will serve as an independent voice of voters and will fight to balance the budget, extend the middle class tax cuts, and support common sense legislation that helps grow our economy and create jobs.”

Bryan Lentz’ support for Nancy Pelosi has earned him $14,000 in campaign contributions from Nancy Pelosi, including $4,000 from her personal campaign committee and another $10,000 from her leadership PAC.  A $5,000 contribution from her leadership PAC was just reported in Lentz campaign finance filings reported to the Federal Election Commission last week.
