“The decision to run was easy for me. For the past thirty years, I have worked to make my local community a better place for everyone. My dedication and loyalty to the community extends to the entire Fifth District of Pennsylvania and our Nation as a whole. I wish Congressman Peterson all of the best in his retirement and will continue to build upon his incredible legacy and work with the rural caucus, developing jobs within the district; improving the quality of health care in rural America; and investing in technology to enhance our children’s education and improve our infrastructure. We also need to maintain the balance of natural beauty throughout the Fifth District.”
“During the next months I will be traveling throughout the district, meeting with various constituents and groups. It is important to personally hear and respond to the ideas and concerns, as well as the hopes and dreams, of all of our citizens.”
Lou Radkowski lives in Saint Marys with his wife Monica. They have six children and three grandchildren.
