He’s a nice guy weather you agree with him politically or not, this was a high school project on the importance of voting and we wanted a local politician to interview,

It’s nice to have someone willing to go on the record as the “con” in the debate of “Should every vote count”, I’m sure.

Genuinely surprised he agreed to do it, since he’s repeatedly voted in favor of legislation designed to suppress opportunities to vote; especially for people who may have difficulty with mobility, transportation, caregiver support etc. The legislation he’s supported impacts senior citizens- especially veterans, in the counties he represents.
If he truly believed voting was important, he would support measures like voting satellite offices and sponsor bills designed to make mail voting more secure instead of forcing people to only vote early in person in their courthouses.
All mouth and no trousers.

Clearly related to your topic of this post (the importance of voting), not in Pennsylvania but worth noting just the same, several elections were decided by one single vote this year.
