Republican Candidate Ciarrocchi Calls For “Saving The American Dream"

CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Republican candidate Guy Ciarrocchi told constituents in a recent telephone town hall that he is running for U.S Congress because the American dream is in danger.

“Inflation is out of control; gas prices are way too high,” Ciarrocchi said. “People started to get bills for fuel for their homes, and they are seeing the prices are higher. Crime is on the rise. Our kids are not learning.”

Ciarrocchi said the country needs to get better for the children and grandchildren.

“That’s what America is all about,” he said.

Ciarrocchi, 57, of Tredyffrin Township, is running against incumbent Chrissy Houlahan to represent the Sixth District, which covers all of Chester County and portions of Berks County.

Houlahan, 55, of Easttown Township, is a Democrat who was elected in 2018 and is running for a third term. She is an Air Force veteran and engineer.

Ciarrocchi is a former Tredyffrin Township supervisor and chairman of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry.

Ciarrocchi estimated that 4,000 participated in the telephone town hall.

He emphasized the country is in danger, but he hopes to fix it. His plans include getting rid of mandates and making our country energy independent.

“I know how good things can be,” Ciarrocchi said. “I want what’s best for our kids. We know the way to come back.”

During Houlahan’s recent town hall, Houlahan praised the $739 Inflation Reduction Act as the largest deficit reduction measure in over a decade and an historic investment in our fight to mitigate climate change and the rise of extreme weather events.

She said it caps out-of-pocket medical costs at $2,000 for seniors and caps the price of insulin at $35 per month for Medicare recipients.

The bulk of Ciarrocchi’s telephone town hall consisted of a question-and-answer session.

The callers questioned Ciarrocchi about immigration, education, inflation and more.

One caller asked Ciarrocchi where he stands on the abortion issue.

Ciarrocchi said is pro-life, noting there were 31,000 abortions last year and that was too many.

Ciarrocchi said that he is concerned that the White House does not believe inflation exists.

“We have to stop spending and pull back on regulations,” he said.

Ciarrocchi said he supports school choice and parents’ rights to question the schools. He also said that violent criminals are not welcome to the United States.
