Kathy Dahlkemper for Congress

"When you consider the Democrats and Republicans who voted against the recent national health law, some defined their position early on. For those people, while we may disagree, you respect their unwavering position. The second group of legislators, like U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, recognized that the perfect was not possible and that the needs of her constituents and the nation were more important than personal ideals; you applaud their leadership and commitment. And for all others, you simply ask why." - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Op-ed piece (April 4, 2010)
