HOFFMAN FOR CONGRESS

                   Ira Hoffman for U.S. Congress – PA 8^th District

I pledge that I will represent you the people of the 8th District with the following values, principles, and goals. I pledge too that I am the best candidate to represent you based on my experience, integrity, commitment, and love of this district and nation.

My Values

My values that will underpin how I represent you, the constituents of the PA 8^th district, are the following:

1.       I believe in limited, constitutional government.

2.       I believe in free markets and free market solutions.

3.       I believe in ethics and accountability at all levels: personal, family, business, and government.

My 8 Guiding Principles for the 8^th District and the Nation

1.      Slash wasteful, unconstitutional government spending and eliminate the deficit

2.      Reinvigorate private enterprise and create jobs.  Restore stability to government policies and taxes so businesses invest, grow, and create jobs.

3.      Enact health care legislation that can reduce costs and improve access for Americans

4.     Make America energy independent by enabling businesses to pursue all energy sources, in an environmentally sound manner

5.     Secure America from terrorism and illegal immigration

6.     Stop cap and trade

7.     Restore ethics and accountability to government and business

8.     Reduce the role of the federal government to its powers as enumerated in the U.S. Constitution

Why I Am the Best Candidate to Represent You the People of the 8^th District

1.    I am an experienced businessman

No other candidate can make this claim

27 years of experience working as a manager and director in large U.S. manufacturing corporations

Hold a B.S. degree in chemical engineering and an MBA in general management

Deeply experienced in finance, financial planning, project management, supply chain, general management, and operations

Deeply experienced in leading teams in the design and implementation of new procedures, organizations and systems to reduce costs and improve product quality and customer service

President of Hoffman Wealth Solutions and provide comprehensive financial planning advice to clients

Thoroughly understand international and national economics, business, finance, and public policy

2.    I am committed to conservative principles in all areas

For example, I support drilling in ANWR and I oppose ‘card check’ legislation.  Card check allows for unions to use open voting when asking fellow employees if they support the union, and also imposes a government contract on the employer if the union and employer cannot agree.

During his term in congress, Fitzpatrick opposed drilling in ANWR and supported card check legislation.

3.    I am a ‘citizen legislator’

This is the first public office I have sought

I am called to seek this office because I feel the passion to help resolve our nation’s issues and because I see mostly failure in our current elected officials

I seek to help resolve our issues and return our nation to its correct path.  I will not become a career politician.

4.    I am a hands-on problem solver

I have led teams of problem solvers and I have rolled up my sleeves and done the work myself

I alone of all the candidates can articulate the nation’s issues and the detailed actions to resolve them

5.    I seek collaborative solutions

I worked with customers, suppliers, and internal groups within the corporation to design and implement overall optimum resolutions and agreements

I will subordinate my self-interest to the interest of those who I represent
