Barletta will undo the economic damage caused by Gov. Tom Wolf’s disastrous response to the coronavirus epidemic, which included crushing small businesses with shutdowns, killing thousands of jobs, sending Covid-positive patients into nursing homes, and botching the vaccine rollout.

 

Barletta founded a pavement marking business with an initial investment of $29.95 and within five years had built his enterprise into the largest of its kind in Pennsylvania and then the 6th largest in the country. Having lived the dream of starting up his own small business, Barletta will return power to the entrepreneurs of Pennsylvania.  He understands that government’s best role often can be to get out of the way and let private citizens create jobs and grow the economy. That means keeping taxes low and reducing regulations to free Pennsylvanians to thrive.
