Keystone Party Fields Candidate In York County
By Bob Small
Kristine Cousler-Womack is the candidate for Pennsylvania’s 93rd State House race from the newly minted Keystone Party.
The 93rd District is in York County
York and Lancaster counties are named for the warring sides in the English War of the Roses, even adopting their symbols with York having the white rose and Lancaster the red and naming sporting rivalries for it.
The incumbent in the 93rd is the Republican Mike Jones, with Chris Rodkey being the Democrat in the race.
“The most important person in my life is my grandmother, Margaret Cousler. She was elected in the 1960’s as the tax collector for Springgettsbury Township, where she served her community for over 45 years,”Ms. Cousler-Womack says on her Ballotpedia page, and that she wants to follow her “in being a voice for those who do not have one.”
“All of us, listening to each other and each playing our role, will be critical in our efforts to raise up our communities, from Dallastown to Shrewsbury and everything in between,”she says on her campaign website.
She has been a teacher’s assistant in the Dallastown area and a volunteer in various areas. She is also involved with Job’s Daughters International.
The organization was founded in 1920 as a companion group to the Masons and is a leadership organization for girls between the ages of 10 and 20.
The name comes from Job 42:15 “And in all the land were no women found so fair as the Daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren”, which was rare in those times.
David Kocur is the only other non-statewide candidate from the Keystone Party.
