Bring jobs home.
Tax credits that reward hiring here, not overseas. Tear up the trade deals that gutted NEPA. Fund welding, electrical, and pipefitting apprenticeships — not another four-year-degree lecture.
Owen Brennan · Republican ·PA-12
NEPA's best days are ahead
A Marine. A welder. A father. Owen's running because the incumbent voted with Washington and the plants kept closing — and somebody from this district needs to say enough.
Where Owen stands
Tax credits that reward hiring here, not overseas. Tear up the trade deals that gutted NEPA. Fund welding, electrical, and pipefitting apprenticeships — not another four-year-degree lecture.
Finish the wall. Hire more agents. End catch-and-release. Treat fentanyl trafficking as the weapon of mass destruction it is — three families on my street have buried kids to it.
Curriculum posted online before the school year — not after a FOIA fight. Politics out of K-8 classrooms. Build vo-tech back into our schools so a kid can graduate with a credential, not just a loan.

Meet Owen
Eight years in the Marine Corps. Two tours. Came home to South Scranton, used the GI Bill, and opened a welding shop that hires guys his buddies used to share a shift with before the plant closed. He's running because nobody in Washington is fighting for the 12th.

Chip in
No outside consultants. No coastal ad agencies. Your money pays for the work that wins this seat — signs, doors, and the volunteers who show up.
Choose an amount
Federal law limits individual contributions to $3,300 per election. Contributions are not tax-deductible.
Get in the fight
Knock ten doors. Make ten calls. Drop a sign on the lawn. One neighbor, one porch — that's how PA-12 flips. The other side has D.C. money. We have the diner, the parish hall, and you.

Real questions. Real answers.
