The incumbent, Briscoe Cain, has been ranked the state’s worst legislator for his...
his death. In the immediate days after the 2020 election he hustled off to the airport to “fight for a fair and honest election in Pennsylvania.”
Earlier this year, Cain, 37, decided the best use of his time was to tweet #ProsecuteTexasAbortionFunds and send cease-and-desist letters to groups helping people secure abortions, even before the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade. While Cain sets a low bar, we hope for more out of a challenger than the bare minimum. Fortunately, Democratic challenger Chuck Crews struck us as direct, capable and thoughtful, with a professional background that would help his constituents. A longtime petrochemical engineer, Crews said he’d put his extensive knowledge of the industry to use right away in the Legislature to make plants mechanically safer and environmentally cleaner for surrounding communities.
“You can’t throw a rock in this district without hitting a chemical plant somewhere. I’m a chemical engineer with 15 years experience in the field,” Crews told us. “I would be the better representative for this district because I know the work, I’ve crawled through distillation columns to inspect them … we need a representative who actually represents us.”Crews, 48, said he was a field organizer in O’Rourke’s 2018 campaign for U.S.
We urge voters there to choose Crews because he is the candidate focused on policy and people, and not on partisan noise.
