An Investment in Defense is an Investment in Pennsylvania

By State Representative Joe Kerwin

I’ve had the honor of serving both in uniform and in public office. As a representative for the 125th District in Pennsylvania, I fight for our communities at home. Concurrently, as a captain in the United States Army, I fight for my community abroad.

That’s why I support the FY 2027 defense budget, which requests funding for critical systems that will defend our troops on the modern battlefield. This comprehensive new budget will increase the well-being of our troops and protect them from the new and emerging threats that I’ve seen first-hand.
