Ryan Mackenzie wins 3-way race to challenge Susan Wild for Lehigh Valley congressional seat [Video]

The term is for two years. PA-07 covers Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties and a portion of Monroe County.

Mackenzie, of Lower Macungie Township, is in his sixth two-year term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. His 187th Legislative District consists of part of the Lehigh County townships of Heidelberg, Lower Macungie, Lynn, Upper Macungie (part), Washington and Weisenberg, plus Alburtis and Macungie boroughs.

“Now more than ever we need proven leaders who will always fight for America’s future,” Mackenzie said last July in announcing his candidacy.

In remarks Tuesday night carried by WFMZ-TV 69, Mackenzie told supporters he is fighting for his family, including his baby son, as well as “for all of you and all of America.”

“I want to send this message loud and clear: I am fighting for you,” Mackenzie said, after vowing his support for reining in “wasteful spending” and a crackdown on “open borders.”
