Quiters
 

Opioid Tom Marino ran for and won the House seat in my district. Now he's quit so he can get the industry payoff he worked so hard for. Thanks for wasting our time Tommy.

Maybe the swamp is draining.

He forgot to mention how effective he was at declawing the DEA at the beginning of the opioid crisis. Rural broadband lol, fuck you sir.

To understand why he is routinely reelected, listen to hate and misinformation so common on talk radio in that part of the state. Anywhere in that region. there are always multiple radio stations broadcasting Limbaugh, Hannity, Alex Jones, Laura Ingraham, etc. Try to get some honest news in that region? One must tune to stations in Philadelphia or NYC.
