“Pennsylvanians expect more from Harrisburg. This year, Democrats tried to raise taxes, hike energy rates, give special favors to labor unions, and delayed the state budget for months. AFP-PA is proud to endorse these leaders for reelection so they can continue holding the line against government overreach and overspending.

“AFP-PA’s strong network of grassroots activists across the Keystone State will reach thousands of Pennsylvanians in the coming weeks at the door, over the phone and through digital advertising to ensure victories in these must-win races.”

Emrick has represented Pennsylvania’s 137th Legislative District since first winning election in 2010. Before serving in the state House, Joe was a nationally-recognized educator and served as Chairman of the board of supervisors in Upper Nazareth Township. It was there that Joe cut real property taxes by 7 percent, along with eliminating debt and increasing police coverage. Rep. Emrick is an active member in his community where he is a board member of Cornerstone Counseling Ministries and a member of the Nazareth YMCA. Joe, along with his wife and two children, attended Calvary Baptist Church.
