“This election serves as an important opportunity not only to stop Trump’s corruption and cronyism but to build a positive vision for the country we need America to be,” said Pica. “By putting Americans first and rejecting fossil fuel money, Wallace has made it clear that he will work for the people of Pennsylvania.”

“I am honored to receive the endorsement of Friends of the Earth, an organization whose values I am proud to share,” said Scott Wallace. “In Congress, I am committed to putting forth an agenda that cleans up our planet and cleans up the corrupting influence of corporate money in politics.”

Their work has taken them throughout America and around the world, testing solutions and learning lessons to help empower everyday working people and ensure a sustainable future for their children.
