HARRISBURG, PA – ChamberPAC, the political arm of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, announced its endorsement of Larry Medaglia, Republican candidate for the March 15 special election in the 11th Senate District.

Medaglia is a former small business owner in Berks County and previously served as a legislative aide to one-time state Rep. Paul Angstadt. For the past 15 years, Medaglia has served as the Berks County Register of Wills/Clerk of Orphans' Court.
 
“We are pleased to endorse Larry’s candidacy,” PA Chamber President Floyd Warner said.  “Pennsylvania businesses and taxpayers need a senator who understands what it will take to move Pennsylvania forward, and Larry is such a candidate. His business acumen and commitment to pro-growth initiatives are crucial to our membership and our collective mission of fostering a healthy business climate in Pennsylvania. His determination to keep Pennsylvania vibrant and strong economically will benefit his constituents and all Pennsylvanians.”

Warner said he welcomed Medaglia’s pledge to work to lower the detrimental Corporate Net Income tax and phase out the Capital Stock and Franchise tax in an effort to make the Commonwealth more attractive to employers.

Medaglia said he was humbled and honored to receive the Pennsylvania Chamber’s endorsement.

“As a state senator, I pledge to meet regularly with business leaders to exchange ideas and develop an action plan to attract new enterprise to Pennsylvania,” he said. “It is my goal to also ensure that existing businesses remain strong and viable.”

Warner said residents in the 11th District would be well-served by a senator who has a clear focus on creating and maintaining jobs.
