Official notice of withdrawal from campaign - March 29, 2018

I have elected not to file for the 2018 elections. I made this decision based on both the illegal last minute redistricting by the state, and the massive money being thrown by high power liberals and globalists toward the disruption of the 2018 midterm elections. The cost in time and money to overcome this obstacle will be substantial.

I am putting off my bid for the House at this time and am endorsing and fully supporting Dan Meuser for this office. Dan has similar interests and concerns and supports protection of 2nd amendment rights, free speech and is pro-life. He is also seeking national property tax relief and supports fair taxation, per the U.S. Constitution. Dan is sincere in his commitment and is willing to listen to the opinion of others.

I may consider running for a different office at a later time, if the opportunity arises. I wish to thank all those who supported me, and encourage all voters to get out and support and donate to help get and keep candidates who will help drain the swamp, and who will support our president.

"First and foremost, I am an unapologetic constitutional conservative, and a proud supporter of our President, Donald Trump." - Andrew Shecktor

A lifelong Pennsylvania resident, Andrew Shecktor was born in historic Philadelphia just blocks from the Liberty Bell and raised in Plymouth Meeting. He lives with his wife Jean in Berwick where he has resided since 2005. He is the proud father of 5 grown children, 3 daughters and 2 sons.

As an elected member of Berwick Borough Council since 2015 he has fought for the rights of the residents and has worked to keep excessive government control in check. He also sits on the Berwick Planning Commission. Early in his political career he worked for U.S. Congressman Lawrence Coughlin (13th Congressional District, deceased) and was on U.S. Congressman Jon Fox's Congressional Computer Advisory Committee.

Currently he is a sales manager for the Solid Cactus division of Web.com. Prior to Web.com he was an electrical engineer and information technology manager. He was the Manager of Biomedical Engineering at Lower Bucks Hospital for a number of years, and was a Network Operations Manager for GE Capital. While he had many opportunities to "climb the corporate ladder", his heart was always in community and charitable support. He devoted his life to these causes and never looked back.

Andrew was a volunteer firefighter for several fire departments for 41 years, and is active in emergency services and military communication. He is also a long time ham radio operator, and is currently a district emergency coordinator and Assistant Section Manager for the ARRL ham radio organization. As cofounder of the "Greater Philadelphia Search and Rescue" group he helped mold this organization into one of the finest search and rescue groups in the state.

He is a published author of several books, the most recent being "State of the Economy, The Failure of Healthcare in the US", the companion book to the lecture he gives on the same topic.

In 2016 he was an elected delegate to the Republican National Convention and supported our 45th President, Donald Trump. During the election, He had the opportunity to meet more than 22,000 residents of the 9the (former 11th)Congressional District, which helped him better understand the expectations of an elected official and the frustrations with the current status-quo government. The resounding response was they want their voices heard. Officials are elected to represent the people, not the other way around. There needs to be more input from the voters on matters that are brought before the Congress. The rationale for legislation enacted by Congress or by any elected official should be communicated to the public; particularly in instances of controversial legislation. Not everyone will be happy with every decision, but everyone should be able to have their voice heard.
