Chrissy Houlahan, the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania’s 6th Congressional District, is a Stanford alum, former Captain in the United States Air Force Reserve, and has had an extensive business career. She has worked as Chief Operating Officer for both businesses and non-profits, and she also has experience as a chemistry teacher and a Teach for America Corps member.

Houlahan is running for Congress on a multifaceted platform, including improving the economic security of Pennsylvanians, expanding access to healthcare, revitalizing public schools, reforming the campaign finance system, combating climate change, supporting veterans and their families in their return to civilian life, and preserving and protecting women’s health. Her positions are informed by her personal expertise. As a veteran, she is attuned to the difficulties of life after serving in the armed forces, as well as the militarization of American foreign policy. Houlahan has experience with the healthcare system through the companies she helped lead and the health benefits she provided her employees. She attended public schools as a child and has experience working to alleviate the problems afflicting American public schools.

Houlahan has been endorsed by Former Vice President Joe Biden, VoteVets, Pennsylvania Democratic Senator Bob Casey, EMILY’s List, the Philadelphia chapter of the AFL-CIO, and the advocacy group End Citizens United. The campaign features numerous ways to get involved, all of which will have a meaningful impact on Houlahan’s electoral prospects.

The 2018 midterm elections will determine which party controls the Congress and Houlahan’s success on November 6th will be decided by the citizens, and especially young people, of Pennsylvania’s 6th district. Time to get to work! There are internship opportunities for the summer and fall and the campaign is seeking volunteers as well.
