The Honorable Pam Iovino of Pittsburgh, former Navy Captain and Assistant Secretary for Congressional and Legislative Affairs for the Department of Veteran Affairs in the George W. Bush Administration: "Hillary will support and promote total force readiness by protecting women service members that have been victims of military sexual assault and harassment. She will strengthen protections, so women don't fear of retaliation from reporting."



Dr. Richard Costlow, resident of Montgomery County: "Donald Trump embodies the least attractive and least inclusive messaging the Republican party has espoused in the more than 40 years I've been a Republican. His inconsistent and, frankly, dishonest statements about his past policy positions, his fear-mongering towards immigrants, and his reckless rhetoric on clearly ill-conceived foreign policy for the United States are dangerous for the global community. The opposition to him from multiple levels within the GOP belies their broad mistrust of him as a person and a potential Commander-in Chief. He lacks experience in public policy and what little is known of him as a businessman is littered with litigation which suggests he broke promises, failed to pay his bills, in addition to exploiting undocumented workers and outsourcing jobs - displacing American labor. The Trump brand has betrayed hardworking Americans as the trade-off for the self-enrichment of Donald Trump and has no place in the GOP. Donald Trump has neither the public policy experience nor the temperament to lead the America I believe in during a time of unprecedented uncertainty. My choice is Hillary Clinton as our next President."



Phil Eichinger of Delaware County, Marine Corps veteran of the Korean War and Vietnam War: "Donald Trump is simply unqualified to run our country and cannot be trusted with our security. America needs a tested and steady leader and we have that in Hillary Clinton. Her experience and demeanor are a stark contrast to Trump's divisive behavior."



James Colin Foster of Allegheny County, college student: "Hillary Clinton has shown throughout her career that she will work across the aisle to move our country forward. Donald Trump's entire campaign has been an exercise in recklessness and bullying. Hillary's lifelong commitment to children and families speaks louder than any of Trump's divisive words."



Mark Pasquerilla of Cambria County, Chairman and CEO of Crown American and a former At-Large Delegate to the 2004 and 2008 Republican National Conventions: "I could not be more disappointed in my party's choice of nominee. I served as a former Pennsylvania At-Large Delegate for the 2004 and 2008 Republican National Conventions and my father ran for Pennsylvania state treasurer on the same ticket as President Richard Nixon. I cannot stand by as Donald Trump hate mongers and bullies hard-working Americans around. Our country needs a president who will treat everyone with the respect they deserve and that's why Hillary Clinton will have my vote on November 8."



Philadelphia Republican Committeewoman Elissa Prichep: "I am very concerned by Donald Trump's tendency to bully, demean, and degrade others. This election is about so much more than what party you belong to - it's about choosing a leader who can handle the real challenges that face a President of the United States. Hillary Clinton is a tested leader who has the steadiness to be in the White House, unlike Trump who has shown time and time again that he is temperamentally unfit to be president."
