Interesting Lanco GOP Primary But Not A Crazy Train
By Bob Small
Among the GOP contested primaries here are some of special interest.
Seeking to replace Bryan Cutler as state representative for the 100th District are Dave Nissley and Kelly Osborne. There is no official Candidate listed on the Democratic side, so this is probably the real general election.
Cutler has represented the conservative Lancaster County district for about 20 years.
The Lanco nominating convention on Feb. 17 went eight rounds without a clear winner.
Cutler stepped into endorse Ms. Osborne.
Ms. Osborne is a retired state trooper who has served on the Lampeter-Strasberg School Board. She is not the daughter of the late Ozzie.
She boasts about never having voted for a tax increase, and believes sex-at-birth should be the standard for school sports competition.
Dave Nissley was born in Gap and raised in Paradise. He mentions that he grew up the Amish Mennonite Church as one of seven children. He married his wife, Lillian, in 1992. Their four adult children are Brittany, Brooke, Megan, and Josiah. He and his wife have operated Vintage Landscaping since 1992, along with other ventures.
His issues include the elimination of the property tax, preservation of Lancaster County farms and he support of the Second Amendment. See his website for information.
Nissley states that “church, state, and family influence each other in a just society”, but that they must remain separate institutions. He also mentions his previous experience as a Pastor.
