Roggio Endorsement

From the inbox, regarding the 6th congressional district race:

Bob Roggio, (D) today received the endorsement of the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals (PASNAP), the fastest growing union for nurses and health professionals in Pennsylvania.

“We are thrilled to endorse Bob Roggio’s candidacy for Congress in the 6th District,” said Patricia Eakin, RN, and President of PASNAP. “We believe Bob is an outstanding candidate and appreciate his support for healthcare reform and for legislative priorities, including safe staffing for nurses and banning mandatory overtime for healthcare professionals. We believe our healthcare system is in ‘critical condition’ and know that Bob Roggio will be a champion to improve it for the sake of our patients and our profession.”

Bob Roggio has a proven record of prioritizing healthcare coverage. Throughout his 30-year business career at Zenith Products Corporation, Bob helped to create over 600 new jobs as he rose to the position of Senior Vice President and principal partner. He worked to ensure that all of his employees were eligible for quality and affordable healthcare coverage.

“Healthcare issues are a priority in my campaign,” said Roggio. “I believe that we have a responsibility to make healthcare affordable for everyone. We need to find a way to cover the 47 million Americans – including almost 9 million children – who are currently uninsured.”

“Bob understands the costs and the struggles that rising healthcare costs pose to families and businesses,” said Campaign Manager Liz Conroy. “He believes that our country has an obligation to fight for full coverage and will bring that fight to Washington.”
