Mike Gerber
State Representative
Welcome
Thank you to all of my supporters for your help in my first re-election campaign. With your help, I not only earned a second term in office, but also made great strides in growing my base of support throughout my legislative district. As opposed to my tight race in 2004 when I was first elected by less than 500 votes and a 1% margin, my 2006 race was much stronger, with a 9,700-plus vote margin and more than 67% of the total vote. Despite these strong memebers, I am once again working hard to win re-election this Novemeber and need your help.
Now, and maybe more importantly, you have helped me expand my role in Harrisburg so I am in a greater position to advance our Commonwealth. In just my second term, twenty-one of my colleagues from Southeastern Pennsylvania unanimously elected me Chairman of the Democratic Caucus’ Southeast Delegation and I have been selected as a Deputy Whip for my caucus.
Additionally, I now serve as chairman of both the Energy Subcommittee and the Public Transportation Subcommittee, as well a trustee for the State Employee Retirement System, where I am one of eleven board members that determine how to invest the state’s $32 billion retirement fund.
As you can see, you have helped me achieve a great deal in a short period of time. I thank you and look forward to continuing our work together to advance Pennsylvania.
With gratitude,
Mike
