PA GOP Vice Chair Questions Democrats Record on Women

HARRISBURG, PA – Republican Party of Pennsylvania Vice Chair Joyce Haas released the following statement regarding President Obama’s record on women, in light of recent controversial comments made by Democratic National Committee adviser Hilary Rosen, who claimed that Ann Romney, a mother of five, has “never worked a day in her life”:
“As a woman and a mother, I am highly offended by DNC advisor Hilary Rosen’s deplorable comments.  Being a mother is a full-time job, and any claim to the contrary is simply untrue. Quite frankly, these comments speak volumes to the Democrats’ true feelings about America’s hard-working women,” Vice-Chair Haas said.
Regarding President Obama’s record on women, Haas stated the following: “Pennsylvania women care about issues like jobs and the economy, and the reality is that past few years under President Obama have been devastating for women. Since he took office, the number of employed women has decreased by 683,000, and many more women have given up looking for work altogether. What’s more hypocritical is that in President Obama’s White House, women are paid less than men. According to figures from last year, the median salary for female employees on the White House staff is 18 percent less than that of their male counterparts.”
Haas continued: “If there is a war on women in America, it is being waged from the White House.”

Joyce Haas Joins Pawlenty at Lincoln Dinner

Posted by Joyce_Haas on May 7, 2011 ·

I recently attended The Spirit of Lincoln Dinner at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. The speaker was Governor Tim Pawlenty. I was able to sit with the Governor durning dinner and have an interesting discussion about his run for the office of President. It was particularly interesting that it was just the day after the televised FOX Republican Candidates’ Debate. Many people at the event greeted him and commented on his professional showing at the debate.

The dinner was one of the first major Pennsylvania events that a 2012 candidate attended.  Last week both Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich attended the National NRA (National Rifle Association) Convention in Pittsburgh.  Both were featured speakers at that event.

Allegheny County has the distinction of having more registered Republicans than any other county in the Commonwealth. Even though Pennsylvania’s 2012 primary is not until April, the Commonwealth will play an important role in selecting the GOP candidate as PA has 20 electoral votes. Pennsylvania is designated a swing state that the Republican candidates hope to win.  The campaign has officially begun in Pennsylvania.  We expect to see many more candidates in the months to come.

Corbett Transition Team Meets

Posted by Joyce_Haas on December 2, 2010 ·

After years of reckless spending and increased taxes that shrank Pennsylvania’s economy while growing its debt, voters in the Commonwealth were ready for a major shift in the Governor’s mansion.  Governor-elect Tom Corbett took a major step toward delivering this new approach in convening his 400-plus-member gubernatorial transition team this week.

Here’s what the Associated Press had to say: “Corbett on Tuesday characterized the collection of more than 400 business leaders, veterans of past Republican administrations, conservative activists, legislators and even a few Democrats as “a fresh set of eyes” with which the architects of his administration can size up state government and recommend new ways of doing things.”

That should be welcome news to the people of PA.

It’s worth noting that Tom is starting out his administration with some experienced Democrats on his team, including Sen. Anthony Williams and Lehigh County Executive Don Cunningham.
