Pia Varma To Run For Pennsylvania’s First Congressional District Seat
PHILADELPHIA — Republican Pia Varma has officially announced her candidacy for Congress in the 1st District of Pennsylvania.
As Scott Brown has recently proven, a national movement opposing big government is gaining momentum. As a leader in this movement and writer for Mises Institute and Glenn Beck’s Fusion magazine, Pia Varma is committed to restoring the principles that America was founded on in 1776. Varma will be the first serious candidate to challenge the current 1st District Congressman Robert Brady since he first took office in 1998.
Pia Varma is not your typical candidate. A political outsider, Varma is a 27 year-old first generation Indian American woman and entrepreneur whose parents moved here before she was born.
Varma became intimately acquainted with big government policies in Philadelphia two years ago when the Commerce Department shut down her and a business partner’s green-building proposal to revitalize vacant land in the Kensington. Varma witnessed the mismanagement of taxpayer money first-hand, stating, “I thought the city would welcome a green project, but a taxpayer funded program –The Industrial Empowerment Zone –stood in our way. It has failed to bring industry back, and succeeded only in blocking a project which could have helped the community and supported private business.” For Varma, The Industrial Empowerment Zone program is just another example of how big government impedes progress and hurts ordinary Americans.
Varma cites her experiences working with the local government and with the district’s homeowners as her motivation for seeking office. She says, “I saw a very dark side to this city. I saw things that were blatantly unjust happen to residents of that neighborhood. Its time for Brady and all that he represents to go.”
Varma believes a political outsider will have the advantage in the November election. “I’m not running on a resume. You don’t need a resume or permission to try and prevent your country and your city from failing.”
