When you head to the polls in November, many of you will be voting for
your 3rd District representative in Congress. That race pits republican
incumbent Mike Kelly against democrat Missa Eaton.
Kelly, a Butler business owner, is in his first term as Congressman for Pennsylvania's 3rd District.
Eaton has worked in various areas, including retail, real estate and for the past 15 years, in education.
She will focus on job creation and economic development, expressing concern over GE's decision to move its corporate headquarters out of Erie.
Meanwhile, Kelly says, when it comes to job creation, we must focus on natural resources such as coal, oil, gas and drinkable water.
Many constituents are disappointed by the political environment. Kelly understands, and says some people haven't been good stewards of the role they've been given.
Eaton says she's a firm believer that the voters are looking for representation, not people who go to Washington to play their political chess games, as she described it.
Kelly says much of the problem is with the country's leadership, referring to the current administration.
While Eaton supports the president's re-election, but doesn't necessarily agree with him on all issues.
