– Plumber’s Local #690, Business Manager, John I. Kane, a Candidate for Pennsylvania State Senator in the 26th Senatorial District which includes parts of Chester and Delaware Counties, who was recently endorsed by The Philadelphia Building Trades Council and the PHCC Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors of PA., (SEE BELOW), has introduced his platform which includes commitments to funding education, making large corporations pay their fair share of taxes, standing up for worker’s rights and the middle class and protecting women’s rights as follows:
ABOUT JOHN I. KANE
John Kane was raised and is raising his family in Delaware County, where he is a leader in his community. John knows the challenges that middle class families face, and has the experience to tackle them – a former apprentice who worked his way up to business manager of Plumbers Local 690 and member of the SEPTA board, John has negotiated contracts, navigated politics, and worked to make sure the voices of his members are heard, and is running to bring that experience to the State Senate.
From Harrisburg we have seen unprecedented attacks on the middle class, working families, women, and students. The only way to change this is to have proven leaders who can stand up for those whose voice needs to be heard.
Once Elected, John Will:
o Restore funding to schools across Pennsylvania,
o Make corporations pay their fair share by closing the Delaware loophole,
o Stand up for the rights of every worker to organize and fight for fair wages and a path to middle class,
o Protect women’s rights by leaving the decisions about women’s healthcare to women, not bureaucrats.
John Kane has worked tirelessly to protect our working families, keep our communities safe and healthy, and empower our youth. As a State Senator, he will continue to fight for the working class and achieve our shared vision of a better Pennsylvania.
