But I do need you to know that the whole reason that we're doing this this weekend is because last year I wanted to get Dave McCormick to come to the event. Brian Kemp, it's like, you got to get Dave. He's the most impressive candidate we've seen. We think we can get him to run for the Senate. He's that good. You got to get him. It's like, I can't birthday weekend. I've got to be with the family. and so this year reached out

well I can't

birthday week

got to be the family

was like what if I move like, well, I can't birthday weekend. I got to be with the family. And so this year reached out, well, I can't.

Birthday week, you've got to be the family. It's like, what if I move my entire event by a week? Can we get here? Now, there is a downside is there were a couple other Senate candidates that we also wanted to get. And we moved it to this weekend because I wanted to make sure we got Dave McCormick, because the governor said you got to get Dave McCormick people need to see then it

turns out that this is state fair weekend in Montana and Wisconsin so to make sure we got Dave McCormick because the governor said you got to get Dave McCormick. People need to see.

Then it turns out that this is state fair weekend in Montana and Wisconsin. So we wanted to get Shih and Hovdy here as well. They're like, we can't. It's the state fair. We've got to be the state fair. That's okay because I want to win Pennsylvania because it's the Keystone state. And we got to beat Bob Casey. He's terrible and we could have had an opportunity the last time to get McCormick and the Republicans by like a tenth of a point, went in a different direction

and we didn't win the seat. We can win the Pennsylvania Senate seat. We can win it for the presidency.

And we've got the candidate who can do it. Brian Kemp and I both have been trying to get him here with this crowd so that you guys can see we have such an impressive pick for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, and that would be Dave McCormick.

Sorry about that. No, listen, Brian and I were both like, we've got to move this so that we can get you here because we're both such big fans of yours.

I'm so glad to be here.

Thanks for having me.

So if you wouldn't mind giving the crowd to just some of your biography, because, and again, we're talking business people running for office as

opposed to just people have been lawyers all their lives yeah well thank you and thank thank you all

for being here i i i'm a pennsylvania kid a seventh generation pennsylvania my dad was born in

indiana county my mom was in pungsitani so i always like to say that because i'm running against

punsitani bob who only pops his head up once every six years. And I grew up in, I was born

in Western Pennsylvania. I grew up in Bloomsburg, not far from where Bob Casey grew up. And my

folks had a farm, and I lived in the town, but I bailed hay and trimmed Christmas trees.

And in Pennsylvania, wrestling is the big sport.

So I wrestled in high school, wrestling got me to West Point.
