Sestak told a crowd gathered at a home on the grounds of the Erie Land Lighthouse, that Northwestern Pennsylvania needs Sean Wiley as its PA State Senator to help put its people back to work with good paying jobs as well as incentives for businesses to retain and advance their workers.
"Sean Wiley is a great candidate. He does understand what people are all about. He really knows people can be all they can be. But he also wants the community to come together and help themselves be everything they can be," said Sestak.
