Republican Meeting – January 30th – Heritage Hills – 7:30 PM
Monday, January 30th
This is petition night.
Speaker is:
Gary D. Alexander, secretary of public welfare, Mr. Alexander oversees a department that provides services and supports to more than 2.1 million low-income, elderly and disabled Pennsylvanians. He is widely recognized as a health care and program innovator, welfare reformer and management specialist. Prior to being confirmed as DPW secretary, Alexander served as the Rhode Island Secretary of Health and Human Services. In that role, he transformed health and human services into a value-oriented and performance-driven system focused on the needs of the consumer. He is the architect of the landmark Rhode Island Global
Consumer Choice Compact Medicaid Waiver. The Rhode Island waiver redesigned the entire system of healthcare to focus on quality, choice and independence for consumers, while saving millions of dollars for the taxpayers. He also reformed the state’s cash assistance program to focus on “work first” and engage clients in employment. These efforts resulted in
a 30 percent reduction in Rhode Island’s welfare population over the past two years. A Boston native, Alexander received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Northeastern
University and his J.D. from Suffolk University School of Law, both in Boston. He is an ordained deacon in the Armenian Orthodox Church. Alexander and his wife have two children.

I AM A REPUBLICAN BECAUSE:
I BELIEVE the strength of our nation lies with the
individual and that each person’s freedom, ability, and
opportunity, must be responsibly honored and
protected.
I BELIEVE in equal rights, justice, and opportunity for all,
regardless of race, religion, creed, sex, age, or disability.
I BELIEVE free enterprise and individual initiative have
brought this nation opportunity, economic growth, and
prosperity.
I BELIEVE government must practice fiscal responsibility
and allow individuals to keep more of the money they
earn.
I BELIEVE the proper, Constitutional, role of
government is to provide the people only those critical
functions that cannot be performed by individuals or
private organizations and that the best government is
the government which governs least.
I BELIEVE the most effective, responsible, and
responsive government is government closest to the
people.
I BELIEVE Americans must retain the principles that
have made us strong while developing new and
innovative ideas to proactively meet the challenges of
changing times.
I BELIEVE Americans value, and should preserve our
national strength and pride while working to extend
peace, freedom, and human rights throughout the
world.
I BELIEVE today, of the two national parties, the
Republican Party most nearly represents traditional
family values and Constitutional principles and is
currently the best vehicle for translating these ideals
into positive and successful functions of government.
