Here is some notable info for progressive voters in the 155th District about incumbent, Republican PA House Rep.
Becky Corbin:
1. She voted in favor of Liquor Privatization (HB 790).
2. She voted in favor of Increasing Corporate Tax Breaks (HB 440).
3. She voted in favor of further Restricting Access to Legal Abortions (HB 818) earning her a 0% rating by Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania.
4. In 2012, she received a glowing 83% rating by the National Rifle Association, which is not surprising considering that from April 1991 to December 1994 she served as an aide to Jim Gerlach before he became a United States House Representative when he was a State Rep for the 155th district.
5. When I wrote her a letter asking for her to support amending Pennsylvania's Non-Discrimination Legislation (HB 300) to include protections for the LGBT community, she gave me a run-around non-answer, which in GOP speak usually means he/she doesn't support the issue in question.
Effective December 2014, the 155th District will include the following municipalities:
East Pikeland
Spring City Borough
the North Ward portion of Phoenixville
East Brandywine Twp
Upper Uwchlan Twp
Uwchlan Twp
West Brandywine Twp
West Vincent Twp
Rep. Corbin's Democratic challenger is former Spring City Borough Councilor, James J. Burns who, as a result of successful primary write-in campaign will be on the ballot in November.
