Jodi Borello, an independent candidate, is officially on the ballot for the 46th state Senate District in Pennsylvania. She will face Republican state Sen. Camera Bartolotta in the general election.
Background
Borello traveled to Harrisburg twice to deliver nominating petitions with over 3,000 signatures from registered voters in the district. Her candidacy was formally approved by election officials on July 17.
Borello said she is proud of the grassroots movement she has built in the district, collecting signatures from voters who want a new independent voice. She criticized the status quo that prioritizes big corporations over the people of the district.
Opponent’s Response
Sen. Bartolotta expressed concerns about Borello’s affiliation with the Center for Coalfield Justice, an environmental group. Bartolotta said Borello’s agenda could put people in the energy industry out of work.
