Casey Roncaglione: Upper Darby House Race Heats Up
From KYW News Radio:
Unique Race for House Seat in Suburbs [read]
by KYW's David Madden
You’ve heard a lot about the hot races in the Philadelphia suburbs, particularly for Congress. But one interesting contest just under a lot of political radar screens pits a college student against a longtime state House veteran up for re-election. Mario Civera has represented Upper Darby as a state representative for 5 years longer than Casey Roncaglione has been alive. A 21-year-old Temple student, he takes exception to being called a novice but seems to embrace it at the same time.:
“Inexperience is going to be helpful here. Experience has brought us nothing but trouble.”
Besides, the democrat says, his business studies will help bring jobs to the district.
Civera says Roncaglione made his intentions known some time ago.
“I’d figured that this was going to happen because he had grabbed on to an issue and he’d just kept running with that issue.”
That issue? The now cancelled legislative pay raise which Civera insists he’s paid back every penny.
Roncaglione’s bottom line? It’s time for a change.

Casey,
I lived in Upper Darby for 24 years before moving to Florida in 1996. I applaud your effort to "dethrone" Mr. Civera for State Rep. I grew up with people associated with Mr. Civera and have seen first hand the corruption that comes with a life time politician.
If you run again, and I hope you do, I wish you the best of luck. The Upper Darby I grew up in as a child was a nice family community and I hope you can restore the community.
