The Real Scoop

For those of you looking for links to the letters in the Delco Times referenced in Mr. Adolph's distorted attack ad, the newspaper's site has been changed; they are no longer available. Should you have any questions on my true positions on education, healthcare and property tax please explore the site and take a look at who I am.
Still have questions or concerns? Feel free to contact me directly. Mr. Adolph's distortions are a sad commentary – a 20-year incumbent who cannot even run on his own record. Feel free to find out from me what I will do for you in Harrisburg.
Thanks,
Tom Quinn

Not surprisingly the Delco Times endorsed my opponent but they did say, "Adolph is opposed by a true breath of fresh air, newcomer Democrat Tom Quinn, a teacher who has been a stay-at-home dad for the last several years. He also was an actor and playwright. His acting abilities would serve him well in Harrisburg, but what pushed him into the political arena is health care. He simply feels Harrisburg is a frustrating, mysterious place where people are not working to resolve issues. Quinn even admits Adolph is a "nice guy" and community stalwart in Springfield. But he believes Adolph has been in Harrisburg too long. We disagree, but we'd love to see Quinn stay in the political arena."
