Jodi Borello, an Independent, is opposing Republican Camera Bartolotta for the Senate seat in District 46. The incumbent, Bartolotta, has served three terms across Beaver, Greene and Washington counties.
Bartolotta said she is proud of the legislation she has been a part of that has helped domestic abuse victims, schoolteachers with cost-of-living increases, and provided financial aid for farmers, among other areas.
However, the incumbent has clear goals if reelected for a fourth term.
“I’m trying to keep our energy industry robust in southwestern Pennsylvania,” the senator said. “I’m trying to keep those jobs here. Another thing is our process, our permitting and our regulation must be welcoming but safe. There are things that we really need to look at and work on.”
Bartolotta’s opponent, Washington County native and former Republican Borello, has ideas of her own.
While voters have never seen her name on a ballot, she said she is still familiar with what goes on in Harrisburg.
“I have been a community advocate for this district since 2009,” Borello said. “I have been taking people’s stories to Harrisburg once a month. I have even gone to the European Parliament to share stories from this district, and I’m ready to take this to the next step.”
The small-business owner, if elected, said she wants people to help District 46 residents with affordability.
