Bret Binder Vies for State House Seat in District 156 (Parts of East Bradford, West Chester Borough, West Goshen, and East Goshen)

Bret Binder is running for the 156 District House Seat in Pennsylvania against freshman incumbent Republican Dan Truitt.

Dear constituents of the 156 District, 

Allow me to introduce myself.  I am Bret Binder, Democratic Party candidate for Pennsylvania state representative in the 156th district (East Goshen Township, West Goshen Township, the Borough of West Chester and  part of East Bradford Township).  I have my home and law office in East Bradford Township.  I am running for public office because, as a lifelong Pennsylvanian, I am passionate about the issues affecting our state and I believe I can do a better job in Harrisburg for the people of Chester County. Our public schools should remain among the best in the country. Our history, open spaces, and quality of life should be preserved. I have the business and legal background, work ethic, problem solving abilities and team building skills to make a difference in our community and in Harrisburg, but I need your help to accomplish these goals.  Any financial support you can give to my campaign would be greatly appreciated.  My team and I have been working very hard, but we still need volunteers in the campaign office at 803 West Market Street, West Chester, PA 19382, and on Election Day we will need help to staff the polling stations, but most importantly, please come out to vote for me, Bret Binder, on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6. Thank you.  I appreciate your attention.

Sincerely,
 Bret Binder
Candidate for Pennsylvania State Representative, District 156
