Pennsylvania is one of the most important states for this presidential election

and also for winning back the United States Senate.

It's going to be one of the most expensive Senate races in the country and it comes down to

Republican businessman Dave McCormack versus Democrat Bob Casey.

Now Dave has been able to avoid a nasty primary

because the entire Republican delegation

in the state has gotten behind him. Now he's been an incredibly

successful businessman. He also graduated from West Point, served in the military,

earned a bronze star. But who is Dave McCormick? I want to introduce you to him in this episode. We'll get to know him a little bit better. I'll ask him about the state of the country. Ask him about his views on abortion. Get into his background a little bit.

So who is Dave McCormick?

Find out.

Stay tuned.

Well, Dave, it's great to have you on the show. I know that campaigning is busy and so you're probably exhausted and out there working hard, so we appreciate you making the time for the show.

Oh, I'm glad to be on. Thanks, Lisa.

Okay, so you grew up in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

Tell me about Bloomsburg.

Yeah, well, I was a my seventh generation, Pennsylvania.

My dad was born in Indiana County, which is out in the

Western part of the state. Mom was born in Punctetani and I was born in Washington

County, which is right next to Pittsburgh, but they moved around when I was a young kid and I grew up in

Bloomsburg, which is about 50 miles south of Scranton. And it's like the perfect quintessential

small town.
