Scollo

DINGMAN TWP - Phil Scollo, is announcing his intention to seek the Democratic Party nomination to run for Congress in the 10th District.   The seat is held by Republican Tom Marino.

Scollo’s decision comes on the heels of last week’s Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that quashed proposed redistricting and, with it, Scollo’s plan to run for the Pennsylvania Assembly, in the 139th District, against heretofore unchallenged incumbent, Republican Mike Peiffer.

“Opportunity often follows disappointment in life”, Scollo observed. “In these unprecedented times, the residents of the 10th Congressional District certainly deserve a choice.”

Scollo, 56, a resident of Dingman Township, Pike County,is former insurance industry executive and currently a management consultant.  He believes his business experience and problem solving skills will transfer neatly to public service. Before the April Primary, he vows to visit every county of Pennsylvania’s largest Congressional District, meet with the residents and listen to truly understand their concerns.

“With the Pennsylvania economy in shambles and so many hurting, I promise to work singularly and tirelessly, and without concern for the divisive partisanship that has rendered government impotent in the eyes of most people,” Scollo exclaimed.

He is finalizing his campaign committee and welcoming volunteers who are interested in bringing representative government back to the 10th Congressional District.
