Charlton Gets Primary Opponent –Regina Scheerer has announced that she will be taking on incumbent State Rep. Alex Charlton of the 165th District in the Republican Primary.

Mrs. Scheerer is a retired middle school math teacher. She has lived in Springfield for 40 years and has 12 grandchildren.

Charlton’s vote against a bill that would limit abortions in Pennsylvania to 20 weeks — the present limit is 24 weeks — was the final straw for her albeit there was much leading up to it.

Here is her statement explaining why she is running:

Dear Neighbors and Friends in Springfield—I will be challenging our State Representative Alex Charlton in the upcoming May Primary on May 15.

First I must get my name on the ballot.

In order to do that, I need 300 valid signatures of registered Republican voters in Springfield, Marple and Radnor Townships, and Morton Boro, on petitions to be circulated starting next Tuesday, February 13 and ending on Wednesday, February 28.

Since signatures on petitions may be challenged, and therefore voided, we need 600 signatures altogether.

I need volunteers to go to registered Republican voters in their neighborhoods to collect these signatures.

I will give you a list of the Republican voters in your neighborhoods along with instructions.

An alternative to going door-to-door would be to host 20 – 30 registered Republican voters at your house for an hour, I would come to speak to them and then they would sign the petition.

A combination of both may work for you also.

Why am I doing this?

The main reason is that Alex Charlton ran and was elected as a pro-life Republican. (Pro-life is a platform of the Republican Party.)

He recently voted against a bill that would have limited abortions in PA to 20 weeks (5 months) gestation, which is more than half the time of a woman’s full term pregnancy.

It would not have taken away a woman’s right to an abortion, but it would have lowered the allowable time in PA from 24 weeks to 20 weeks.

16 other states have already adopted the 20 week limit.

The bill also would have banned the barbaric practice of dismemberment abortions.

A Delaware County Republican representative has never voted against a pro-life bill.

Alex Charlton’s pro-abortion vote is incompatible with the Republican Party and incompatible with those who respect Life.

Rest assured, I will not be a one-issue candidate. There are other issues directly affecting PA taxpayers; one, that is especially impacting Springfield School District taxpayers with the building of the new high school, is the required “prevailing wage”.

  1. Way to go and good luck to Regina! She would be a TERRIFIC representative — the BEST!! She is honest, knowledgeable, intelligent and hard-working. However, you have her name spelled incorrectly…it’s Sheerer — not Sheer.

  2. Regina Scheerer will be a great champion for the people in District 165. She is one of the most reasoned people I know. Regina has a drive for solutions and a strong commitment to action. Her people skills, organization, clear cut thinking, and passion for a better future will serve her constituents well. Remember her name on May 15th in our Primary Election.

  3. –There are other issues directly affecting PA taxpayers; one, that is especially impacting Springfield School District taxpayers with the building of the new high school, is the required “prevailing wage”.–

    Ending prevailing wage would save Springfield/Morton taxpayers between $20 million and $30 million concerning the new high school. Where has Alex been?

  4. Regina is a woman with integrity and conviction. She will not be beholden to special interest and lobbyist in Harrisburg. A true representative of the people!

  5. Great job of stepping up. Just for that, I support Regina. Too many people are content to sit on their hands, complain and do nothing else. Way to go, Regina!
