Gail Conner Announces Candidacy for Sestak Congressional Seat

By CONNER FOR CONGRESS

EDGMONT, PA, November 10, 2009 – Environmental lawyer and entrepreneur Gail M. Conner announced today that she is a candidate for the Pennsylvania 7th District Congressional seat being vacated by Congressman Joe Sestak.
Conner is president of G&C Environmental Services, Inc., an environmental consulting firm she founded in 1988. She is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Widener University Law School. She is a former Trustee of Immaculata University.
Conner was an elected Obama delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. She was appointed to the Citizens Advisory Council of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) by Governor Rendell in June 2005 and reappointed in February 2008. Conner was appointed to the DEP Air Quality Technical Advisory Committee by Acting Secretary John Hanger on February 9, 2009.
“One year from now, we will elect a new representative from PA-7,” Conner said. “I will work to bring visionary leadership and common-sense thinking to Congress. People here know that solutions to our problems are not coming from Harrisburg and Washington, and they want a strong and clear voice to represent them and work for their interests. ”
In April 2008, Conner received over 43,000 votes as a delegate candidate in PA-7, more than anyone else in the 13-person field except for Rep. Sestak’s brother, Richard.
