It&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;ve been doing,&#8221; said Deluzio, a Democrat. &#8220;I&#8217;ve brought home more money than any U.S. House Democrat. Third, overall, these community projects, I&#8217;m fighting the corruption and so much else in Washington that has made life so expensive for us, from this reckless Iran war to the trade wars and just the corruption we see in the Trump administration, there is work to do to restore the American dream.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">Both Deluzio and Guy talked about the challenges of homeownership and the need to make housing more affordable.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">&#8220;That&#8217;s where my family is and where I feel safe, and they feel safe. And people are young. People are locked out of that for a lot of reasons. The cost of housing has absolutely gone through the roof, in large part driven by large investment companies buying up property for rental purposes,&#8221; said Guy, a Republican.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">Deluzio added, &#8220;To get big Wall Street investors out of buying single-family homes, for instance. But I want to see the government involved and maybe helping build more housing. And the government&#8217;s very active in securing loans and guaranteeing loans. We need more construction of housing too, that people can afford.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">Guy also stressed the importance of improving law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">&#8220;We need to focus on good solid training for law enforcement,&#8221; he said.  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">When describing their political identities, Guy said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a Republican that has conservative values that understands what it is that has made this country great over the years and the principles that we were founded on, freedom, the ability to make choices and decisions.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">Deluzio described himself as, &#8220;I&#8217;m a Deluzio Democrat. I&#8217;m a Pennsylvania Democrat. I&#8217;m a Rust Belt Democrat. And that&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;ve been when I first ran in 2022. I&#8217;ve been saying much of the same about fighting against this price gouging and corruption \u2014 fighting so that the Union way of life is secure, fighting to protect our freedom. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been pushing for.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">The midterm elections are set for Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Congressman Chris Deluzio and Beaver County Sheriff Tony Guy are sharing their priorities for Pennsylvania&#8217;s 17th House seat,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2313,3290,24635,129524,1941,2438,52,44197,10898,5497,744,24438,30772,97996,1856,3055,14288,28,129519,129523,30,29,523,61479,294,10631,129522,129520,124789,129521,1887,78],"class_list":["post-317999","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-affordable-housing","tag-beaver-county","tag-chris-deluzio","tag-community-priority","tag-corruption","tag-cost","tag-cost-of-living","tag-deluzio","tag-democrat","tag-election-day","tag-government","tag-guy","tag-homeownership","tag-housing-costs","tag-law-enforcement","tag-living","tag-midterm-elections","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-17th-district","tag-pennsylvania-democrat","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-people","tag-price-gouging","tag-public-safety","tag-republican","tag-rust-belt-democrat","tag-single-family-homes","tag-tony-guy","tag-wall-street-investors","tag-washington","tag-year"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=317999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/317999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=317999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=317999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=317999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
