MEET IZZY: “I was born and raised in Lancaster, and I have spent my career serving the community, first as a nonprofit leader and then as a City Council member.”
(Campaign website) MEET IZZY: “Our city needs someone who is going to fight for us in Harrisburg.”
(Campaign website) MEET IZZY: “Working in social service organizations across the city, Izzy saw political leaders delivering less and less for working families, while out-of-town real estate developers took more and more. That’s why in 2017, he decided to run for City Council to widen our City’s focus from downtown development to each and every neighborhood.”
(Campaign website) MEET IZZY: “But as hard as we work here in Lancaster, the laws of our Commonwealth favor giant corporations, lobbyists, and a status quo that hurts Lancaster’s working families. Those laws prevent us from leveling the playing field for our friends and neighbors and putting power to the values we share: kindness, welcome, dignity, and care.”
