McClure to run for Congress

Democratic Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure is running to represent Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District.

Throughout his career, McClure has established himself as a champion for working families against powerful corporate interests. He represented retired steelworkers against corporate asbestos manufacturers, fighting for justice for workers who were sickened through no fault of their own.

He served on the Northampton County Council from 2006 to 2013, where he authored legislation to distribute casino revenue to impacted townships and led efforts to help homeowners facing foreclosure.

And as county executive since 2018, McClure cut property taxes while improving crucial services; helped keep small businesses alive during the pandemic; preserved over 622 acres of open space and invested $25 million in farmland preservation; protected Gracedale Nursing Home from privatization; and took on opioid manufacturers responsible for the fentanyl crisis.
