Cognetti’s Wall Street, not working class

Cognetti’s Wall Street, not working class

Editor: I am so over Paige Cognetti acting like she is the champion of working people. I’m not buying it. Before coming to Scranton, Cognetti worked as a wealth manager at Goldman Sachs in New York City, according to her own LinkedIn profile. Now we’re supposed to believe she traded the Wall Street high life for a sandwich at a shopping center in Clarks Summit and suddenly became the voice of the working class? Give me a break.

Then there is the money behind her campaign. Cognetti has wealthy supporters from around the country helping bankroll her run for Congress, including connections to the billionaire Soros family. Maybe some people see all of that and believe the image she is selling. I see it and have a lot of questions. There is more to Paige Cognetti than the carefully packaged version voters are being shown. I’m not buying the act.
