As a public servant, I have always believed in the importance of staying connected and being accessible to the communities I represent. This website is just one of the ways I plan to communicate my vision for a better America to the citizens of the 17th Congressional District.

After hearing from friends, neighbors and concerned citizens throughout the district, it became clear that voters are desperate for a leadership change in Washington. The people of this district have grown tired of the Democrat policies that have led to higher taxes, runaway spending, record debt and government takeovers.

More than 6 million jobs have been lost since Congressman Tim Holden and the Democrats took over control of Congress just three short years ago and 2.7 million jobs have vanished since Holden, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama enacted their ill-fated, ineffective "Stimulus" plan.

This country is in real distress and it has been made clear to me by hundreds of people across the 17th District that they want change and they want it now. When Troy Sanders, a Pottsville truck driver, asked me to join this race his message was simple. Troy said, "This area, this nation, is on the wrong track. Dave, we need to change Congress, but we can't change Congress if we don't change our Congressman."

As you know, change does not come easy and money and resources from inside the Washington Beltway and liberal special interests will pour into central and eastern Pennsylvania to keep this seat in Democrat control. We cannot simply sit back and 'hope' for change. We need to MAKE change happen and I cannot do it alone.

I ask that you to do whatever you can to help my campaign defeat government controlled health care, corporate bailouts and runaway spending.

Together we can make this change happen!

Sincerely,
Dave Argall
