POTTSVILLE– The Meuser for Congress campaign released the following statement reiterating his support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and their agents and denounced increased calls from the liberal leftists to abolish ICE.

“There is a growing movement among the liberal left to demand the elimination of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol. This has gone from being whispered amongst the radical left to be a key campaign plank for Democratic candidates across the country. I think that is an irresponsible and dangerous position,” Meuser said. “Those supporting this policy are saying that we will have no borders, you can ignore our laws and stay in our country as long as you like. By taking this position, they are saying that dangerous gangs like MS-13 are welcome to come here to commit crimes and put legal American lives in jeopardy.

9^th District– Today, State Senator Dave Argall announced his endorsement of Dan Meuser for Congress.

“Dan Meuser will make an excellent United States Congressman and I am proud to join many of my fellow colleagues and scores of local grassroots leaders in support of his campaign,” Argall said. “In Schuylkill County, we have longed to have a conservative member to represent us in Congress.

“I am backing Dan because he is pro-life, supports the 2^ndAmendment and supports the elimination of property taxes. I would encourage my fellow Pennsylvanians across the District to rally around Dan’s candidacy so he can go to Washington and fight for results to our nation’s biggest problems including immigration reform, healthcare and making the recent tax cuts permanent.”

9th District:  Today, Dan Meuser, Republican nominee for United States Congress, received the endorsement from Congressman G.T. Thompson (PA-5), the Vice Chairman of the Agriculture Committee and Chairman of the Subcommittee on Nutrition.

“I am proud to endorse Dan Meuser for Congress because he will put America and Pennsylvania First,” Thompson said. “Dan will be a great voice for Pennsylvania farmers. As Revenue Secretary, Dan helped to write tax reform which included eliminating the inheritance tax on family farms. In that position, Dan also responded quickly and extended the date to file state taxes for farmers from March 1 to April 15, keeping the deadline consistent with the federal requirements that year. These were important measures that helped all Pennsylvania farmers.

“Dan is a conservative problem-solver who we can trust to fight tenaciously for his constituents to deliver results, especially our family farmers. I look forward to him joining us in Washington to push for the America First Agenda by making tax reform permanent, securing our border, Draining the Swamp and getting rid of Obamacare. With Dan’s business experience and commitment to results, he is exactly the type of candidate our country needs in Washington. We will all be working hard to ensure Dan is elected in November. Our country is counting on it.”

9th District:  Dan Meuser released the following statement after winning the Republican nomination for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 9th District.

“First of all, I want to thank the voters for the faith they have placed in me to represent the Republican Party for the 9th Congressional seat in the General Election,” Meuser said. “This was a hard fought election and I have to thank our countless volunteers and supporters, all the elected officials, grassroots organizations like M.A.G. and our campaign team for their tireless dedication to our campaign. Campaigning is a WE effort and tonight’s results prove that. I must thank my wife Shelley, my children and our entire family and friends for their support and encouragement. Campaigns are difficult and I couldn’t have done this without them behind me everyday.

9^th Congressional District: Last week the Republican Committee of Columbia County met with all three candidates for the 9th Congressional District. Following a series of questions about their campaign priorities, the committee voted last evening to put its full support behind Dan Meuser for Congress.

"I am humbled and honored to receive the endorsement from the Columbia County Republican Committee," said Dan Meuser. "Columbia County was where I first announced my run for Congress last September. My campaign has returned to the county countless times since that first announcement to build relationships with voters, including students from Bloomsburg University, members of the agricultural community, attendees at gun shows, veterans and many more. I appreciate the strong support I have received from Columbia County GOP Chair Mary Baker for many months, and now to have the support of the entire Republican committee truly means a great deal."

9th District: Meuser for Congress released the following statement after tonight’s Lebanon County’s WLBR Candidates Night Forum.

“This forum was another great opportunity for Dan to prove that his experiences and qualifications have prepared him to represent Lebanon County and the 9th Congressional District,” campaign spokesman Mike Barley said. “Dan spoke about the top issues that Lebanon County voters care about, including the importance of securing the border, repealing and replacing Obamacare, strengthening our national security and Draining the Swamp. Additionally, if he is fortunate enough to represent our District in Congress, Dan looks forward to working with our state, county and local officials to help continue the growth of Lebanon County and the revitalization of the City of Lebanon. Our campaign is proud to have secured endorsements from every elected official in the County, including Senator Mike Folmer, State Representatives Russ Diamond and Frank Ryan, Commissioners Bill Ames and Bob Phillips, every county row officer and Lebanon City Mayor Sherry Capello.” 

Republican Congressional candidate Dan Meuser says public service is in his blood and he’s ready to serve as representative of Pennsylvania’s 9th district in Washington, D.C.

Meuser, 54, first threw his hat in the ring for Congress in the 2008 primary, but lost the Republican nomination in a close vote to Chris Hackett. Beginning in 2011, he was given the opportunity to be involved in public service for four years as secretary of revenue under Gov. Tom Corbett.

As secretary of revenue, Meuser negotiated with Amazon to collect remitted sales tax within the state and collected $48 million within the first year. He said he was part of Corbett’s team that created a performance-based tax credit of 5 cents per barrel for companies using Pennsylvania’s natural gas in the process of making ethylene, which he believes to be one of the main reasons Pennsylvania was chosen as the site of the Shell cracker plant in Beaver County.

“The main footprint we left at revenue was an understanding that the department should work for the tax payer; that it’s tax payers’ money and it was never us against them. It’s us for them,” said Meuser.

Meuser’s experience as secretary of revenue gave him an understanding of how to get things done and help him understand what motivates legislators, he said. He can help bills and amendments that are in the interest of the 9th district become more passable through discussions, negotiations and not being afraid to point out who is not “on board with a particular piece of legislation because it doesn’t serve their self interest or because it serves special interests.”
