Voting 100% for Nancy Pelosi\u2019s leftist agenda these past two years is disturbing to many of us. She describes herself as a \u201cbad ass\u201d freshman in Congress and she is pursuing a divisive, leftist agenda which strikes at the core of authentic American values.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Houlahan is running for reelection. Fool us twice, then shame on us.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Houlahan is an Air Force veteran whose military career was almost exclusively as a rear-echelon project manager on big money Department of Defense contracts.<\/li>\n<li>There is no evidence that Houlahan has hands-on engineering experience. Her Stanford degree is in Industrial Engineering which is an umbrella term for systems integration. \u201cProject manager\u201d would be a far more accurate description. Her M. I. T. degree is in policy and social management which is far from authentic engineering.<\/li>\n<li>Seth Berger founded AND1 in 1993. In 1996, a venture capitalist joined the company\u2019s board: Bart Houlahan. It is no surprise that Chrissy Houlahan jumped from project manager to chief operating officer. Seth, Bart, and Chrissy cashed out in 2005. AND1 went into a steep decline and was salvaged and rebuilt by others. So much for all those wonderful jobs with all the socially-conscious perks for which Houlahan often takes credit.<\/li>\n<li>Houlahan was a teaching dilettante. Her so-called teacher training was limited to a \u201cworking adult\u201d program. Houlahan devoted a mere 10 months to the Teach for America program and then left teaching forever.<\/li>\n<li>Houlahan often mentions her leading role in founding and running B Lab. Bart Houlahan, along with his partners, Jay Coen Gilbert and Andrew Kassoy, co-founded B Lab in 2006 shortly after cashing out of AND1. The only place Chrissy Houlahan\u2019s name is mentioned together with B Lab is on her political literature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This November, I am voting for John Emmons for Congress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>David Hughes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Exton<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To The Editor,\u00a0 Chrissy Houlahan appeared to be the perfect candidate for the 6th Congressional District of Pennsylvania in the 2018 election.
