Appearing in front of the Congressional Office of Allyson Schwartz on Sept. 27, Republican Congressional candidate Joe Rooney made the following statement:
“Welcome. We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of millions of dollars of net worth by local taxpayers, families and seniors, while also wondering how Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz increased her own net worth by one million dollars.
Thousands have lost jobs and their homes, poor oversight of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and the mortgage industry by Schwartz and her political cronies have led to the deepest recession in our history since the depression. Massive fat cat Wall Street bailouts, failed massive stimulus spending and higher taxes all supported by Schwartz have devastated our local economy.

Simply put, the only person who has benefitted from Schwartz being in Congress is Schwartz. This kind of self-service must stop!
Schwartz has proven we can’t trust her in Congress. It’s been nothing but more for her and less for us. That must be why Schwartz refuses to debate me. She’s afraid to face the voters here at home. Her record is indefensible. Schwartz can’t explain or defend her Washington DC values and why she has abandoned us here at home.
