Alex Entin has a big job in front of him – convincing Republicans that he is their man in the primary elections on Tuesday.
The 41-year-old Northampton Township husband and father believe they have what it takes to win the First Parliamentary District, which covers all of Backcounty and parts of Montgomery County. But first, he has to win the primary.
In support of President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, Entin confronts incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick, who bets his reputation as a more centrist Republican.
In the 2022 election cycle until the final day of April, Entin raised $ 14,259.86 compared to Fitzpatrick’s $ 3.1 million. Entin ended the month at the bank at $ 451.12, while Fitzpatrick is close to $ 1.4 million.
Aside from funding, Fitzpatrick, a 48-year-old Middletown Township resident, has a strong name ID and a well-established brand in the district.
Mr Entin said Fitzpatrick did not share his values and did not believe what many Republicans did.
One of the motivating factors behind Entin was Fitzpatrick’s vote on the 2021 infrastructure bill, which will invest billions of dollars in Pennsylvania. Some Republicans felt that the bill was a runaway government spending and did not focus on the traditional infrastructure projects they supported.
“I contacted a member of parliament and asked not to vote on the infrastructure bill. I called him and sent an email. I didn’t get a reply, but a few weeks later after he voted. I just got a letter telling me what the invoice was. I felt like a brim because I could read the invoice. I didn’t need him to vote on the bill. ” Said.
Entin said he feared that Democrats and Republicans like Fitzpatrick would allow socialism to be brought to the United States. He said he was looking at an indicator of what he experienced as a child raised in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.
With the abolition of the Roe v. Wade case expected to be at the pinnacle of national conversation, Entin said he was a pro-life and upheld the abortion law, which was decided by the state rather than the federal government. ..
“After all, the Roe v. Wade case is unconstitutional because the Constitution does not allow the federal level to make decisions about it,” he said.
Entin said he was disappointed that the decision was leaked earlier this month.
Inflation is another important issue, Entin said he favors regaining more manufacturing from abroad. He called for additional tariffs on American companies that manufacture goods abroad.
Entin explained his position, saying that Americans are energy-independent and need to reduce federal spending to achieve the desired economy.
Candidates said they would support government incentives to increase the number of SMEs doing business in the country.
“Honestly, I have to look more at tax policy to see what I can do, but we need to support mom and pop business to resume,” he said. rice field.
If elected to parliament, Entin will demand paper ballots with identification, limit mail ballots, demand more electoral roll updates, and increase criminal penalties for violations of the election law. Stated.
Mr Entin said he was absolutely uncertain whether Biden had defeated the president.
After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 elections, the then president and many of his prominent allies participated in attempts to disseminate false information about the outcome of the election and try to overturn it. Government officials and law enforcement agencies haven’t found widespread fraud in the 2020 elections, yet some haven’t stopped claiming it.
“I’ve seen a lot of things submitted to the court. Every time a proceeding is filed, it’s usually dismissed before the evidence is displayed. Why are you hiding the opportunity to present the evidence? Then you can say, “Joe Biden has won the president.” Then I was able to get rid of it for everyone, “he said.
Entin said he was concerned that he felt that the 2020 elections were not fully accounted for.
If you’re still worried about who won in 2020, when asked how you can be sure that his elections are fair, he counts to make sure he’s not worried. Said to monitor.
Entin said he was for “medical freedom” and opposed the obligation to vaccinate.
On his website, Entin calls the obligations associated with COVID-19 “illegal overkill” by the government.
“For me, the concern about vaccine obligations is that it creates second-class citizens … it reminds me of the 1930s Nazi Germany, which was given a patch that Jews must wear. It classified you as a second-class citizen, and if you had a patch you lost your job, your home, and you ended up in a detention camp, “he said. rice field.
Entin said vaccination is similar, as people who are required to be vaccinated cannot go to a supper or a movie without showing evidence of vaccination.
If elected, Entin endorsed a school choice that would allow parents to use taxes to fund charter schools, stating that they would “remove all important racial theories” from the school. rice field.
Schools are governed primarily by state and local governments, so Entin said he would use federal funding and school oversight to drive change.
Regarding immigration, Entin said he would provide more funding for border security and promote the declaration of a cartel terrorist organization. He said Trump’s border policy was right, including the construction of a multi-billion dollar border wall.
Trump initially claimed that Mexico would pay for the construction of the border wall, but the final cost was to American taxpayers.
Mr Entin said he felt that the Biden administration was wasting the money it could have used to build more walls.
“Think about how much we are currently accepting, flying, busting, and spending our living expenses on these people,” he said.
Entin said he would not raise taxes to fund the construction of the wall. He said he would consider a federal program to see if the money could be diverted for wall and border security.
When it comes to health care, Entin aims not only to keep people, but to change the system to treat people.
“I think all we have to do is give incentives to pharmaceutical companies to keep people from getting sick and taking medicine for the rest of their lives,” he said.
Entin said that if there is an abolition of the currently proposed medical law, further research on medical policy should be conducted and the opinions of its members should be listened to.
“It’s a shame to see people staying at work for insurance, and in addition they have to pay a $ 3,000 deduction,” he said. “We need to see it.”
Entin said he supported Trump’s talk of lowering the cost of prescription drugs.
When asked about the legalization and non-criminalization of marijuana by the federal government, Entin said he needed to investigate further and find out which states were legal.
“We need to make sure that the problem doesn’t occur and what the future looks like if we allow it,” he said.
Over the last few weeks, the Fitzpatrick campaign has called Entin “Putin’s Manchurian Candidate” and bought an ad displaying a Soviet iconography.
Video ads also show that Entin hadn’t voted in the election until recently.
“What this is doing is creating ethnic hatred. When we had the opportunity to move to the United States, the world’s greatest country, we emigrated from Eastern European countries,” Entin said. He said he moved to the United States when he was old.
Entin said his traumatic for the Ukrainian and American people should continue to help the country protect itself from the Russian invasion.
Mr Entin said Fitzpatrick’s allegations were “damaging” and his wife was from Ukraine.
“We are stereotyped and labeled,” Entin said.
Entin said the sign that says “Firefitz” is incomparable to Fitzpatrick’s ad, and his sign needs to be fired because he believes he’s not conservative enough. He added that it was based on a message from voters that it was.
