In reply to the discussion: Photos from the Hands Off! protest in Lancaster, PA [View all]MuirHero
(11 posts)90. Thanks Mousetoescamper for posting these great photos!
You've got a great talent for photography. I'm located right up the road from you in Ephrata and have been a Democratic Committeeperson there for 35 years. I'm holding the sign that reads "Lloyd Smucker is aiding and abetting in Trump's lies."
Smucker is totally worthless and has never held an in-person townhall since he was first elected in 2016. While we always assumed that he was unbeatable, the Malone win in our Trump +16 PA Senate District has changed our thinking on that. We're gonna pull out all the stops next year to unseat him.
Also, thanks for updating the turnout number. When we left Penn Square yesterday one of the organizers estimated a turnout of around 2,400, which is awesome for red Lancaster County.

Lancaster is a BLUE city in a red county. Our mayor and city council members are Democrats

Lancaster (and its 'burbs) has become the crown jewel of PA (as seen from us here in Philly)
