1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440 Hi Bucks County. I'm Christina Finello. I'm the Democrat running for 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,080 Congress right here in the first district against Brian 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:13,120 Fitzpatrick and I have a few questions for you. Who's ready 4 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:16,800 to flip this seat and elect the first woman ever to this 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:22,140 district? [CHEERS] Alright, let me hear you! Who is ready to elect women 6 00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:27,980 across Bucks County and flip the State House in Harrisburg? [CHEERS] 7 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,180 And how about who's ready to end the Trump administration 8 00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:37,460 and make Philly's own, Willow Grove's own, Doctor Jill Biden, our First 9 00:00:37,460 --> 00:00:40,820 Lady next year. [CHEERS] 10 00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:45,780 Thank you everybody. We have about 15 days of the election. 11 00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:51,540 Let me tell you, I am fired up. Are you? [CHEERS] Alright and it's great 12 00:00:51,540 --> 00:00:54,180 to be here with all these women who are gonna make history this 13 00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:58,500 year like Nina Ahmad and Marlene Katz and following the 14 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,060 footsteps of Senator Maria Colette, who made history just 15 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:04,980 2 years ago. I'd like to welcome our chairperson who we can't do 16 00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:10,520 any of this without John Cordisco. And you all know this, the path 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,840 of flipping this seat in the White House and the State House 18 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,320 runs right through Bucks County, the women who are gonna 19 00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:23,480 represent this district. So I'm Christina Finello, and like Jill Biden, 20 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,920 I'm a mom. I went back to school and got my doctorate in 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,320 psychology to help my community who's given me so much. The 22 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,360 reason I'm running is I wanna give our neighbors a voice in 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,120 Congress. I wanna fight for issues that moms and families 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480 care about. You know, right now, our healthcare is under attack 25 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,600 by this administration and I wanna make sure that I preserve 26 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,400 healthcare for people with preexisting conditions because I 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960 know what it's like to almost lose my healthcare because of 28 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,640 a preexisting condition. My daughter has a preexisting 29 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,720 condition. So this is personal for me. Also, choice. I wanna 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,920 make sure that women have the right to choose, and our 31 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,440 reproductive freedoms right now are under assault, too. I'm 32 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840 gonna fight for reproductive freedom. I've been endorsed by 33 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,600 Planned Parenthood and Emily's List and NARAL so I'm gonna be a 34 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,080 champion for women everywhere. Meanwhile, here in this county, 35 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,960 we've had a Congressman-- Congressman Fitzpatrick who sided 36 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,160 with Trump, and he said he would absolutely defund Planned 37 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,860 Parenthood. He sided with Donald Trump, taking away with 38 00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,980 the tax bill that will take away healthcare from people 39 00:02:29,980 --> 00:02:32,780 with preexisting conditions. People like my daughter. I'm 40 00:02:32,780 --> 00:02:35,820 not about to let that happen. And he sided with Trump when 41 00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:39,900 he downplayed this COVID pandemic. But let's remember, 42 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,540 let's remember that we make change and make 43 00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:47,820 change for the better. In 2018, Southeast Pennsylvania sent four 44 00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:53,100 women to Congress. So let's do that again. Let's make history 45 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,300 and let's send a fifth. Let's make the Fab Four the Fab 46 00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:59,780 Five. This is one of only three seats that Hillary Clinton won 47 00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:03,140 in 2016 that's still held by a Republican congressman. So 48 00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:05,780 let's not have that anymore. We're gonna make sure that 49 00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:09,300 doesn't happen again. Bucks County is gonna come out big 50 00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:12,580 for the Biden-Harris ticket, and I'm gonna join them next year 51 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:16,980 in Washington and end this Trump agenda. 52 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,280 But let's make a plan and we need your help. Mail your ballot 53 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,760 early. Alright? Make your plan to vote. Get your moms, get your 54 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,920 friends, get your family. Have them make their plan to vote 55 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,360 and when we vote, especially suburban moms, we elect leaders 56 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,320 that look like us and vote for things that matter to us. It's 57 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,760 good for women. It's good for families, and it's good for 58 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120 everyone. I'm so proud to be up on this stage supporting good 59 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,420 women like Nina Ahmad, Marlene Katz, Dr. Jill Biden, Kamala Harris. We're 60 00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:56,460 gonna elect women up and down the ballot this year. We're gonna 61 00:03:56,460 --> 00:04:00,140 flip the House, the State House. We're gonna flip this 62 00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,980 district. We're gonna flip the White House, and we're gonna elect 63 00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:08,700 Democrats up and down the ballot. So who's with me? [CHEERS] 64 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,020 Alright.
