Runaway. It’s not just a song…and I found three videos of 3 artists with the SAME song title: Bon Jovi, OneRepublic, and Galantis. It is also the theme of a candidate for PA 160 apparently. What am I talking about? Here is a snippet:

So Barry and WCHE were covering the rally this past weekend in West Chester called United Against Project 2025/Agenda 47. I think it’s important this is covered. Before I get to that a thing no one is talking about in this that really bothers me – it’s the farming thing in this:

But back to candidates who hide. Elizabeth Moro is running for PA 160. It’s a state house seat held by Craig Williams, a Republican. It’s a partially Delco seat which is why I think it has been a GOP stronghold.

Anyway, Elizabeth Moro ran for congress in 2018 and then dropped out of the race. She was if I recall correctly, originally in the 7th and then the districts were redrawn for a change (heavy sarcasm, it’s a definite PA thing around here), so then she was a candidate in the 6th and subsequently dropped out and Chrissy Houlahan became the nominee for the Democrats and is now my Congresswoman.

But I don’t understand WHY Elizabeth Moro ran from a host of a local radio show when she is seeking people’s vote this fall? Barry Dee will tell the whole tale this Friday at 11 AM on WCHE.

Now I have found Elizabeth to be a nice woman. I actually was at the Brandywine in White event at Chadds Peak Farm in 2015 when she met her husband Vince. I remember her because I truthfully loved her dress. And that was a super fun event. That farm is awesome and such a beautiful setting. We were all Facebook friends for a couple/few years after that until we weren’t. Amusingly I was dropped by them. Guess I didn’t fit “the brand.”. Macht nichts or matters not, because it really didn’t. They were nice, but when I was no longer going to their events, although I liked them, I fell off the radar. But in all fairness, how many events can you go to and then keep repeating them?

Then she and her husband Vince were involved with the fight to save Crebilly Farm. Their group was Neighbors for Crebilly . They weren’t the only group, however, and to this day a lot of the heavy lifting was done by Mindy Rhodes and Crebilly Farm Friends.

Anyway, I always thought Elizabeth Moro to be a people person, yet she RAN away from Barry? I mean it doesn’t compute: wants to be elected to state office, yet can’t speak to a host of a local radio show? That’s ridiculous and her husband Vince snapping photos essentially of the pores on Barry’s nose? (I have seen the whole video so that is why you wish to tune in to All Politics are Local on Friday at 11 AM.)

And what’s with all of the political Greta Garbos this election season? Republican AND Democrat? All of these politicians are so handled these days you can’t interact unless you are a beautiful person (and massive campaign contributor.) Yes the world has changed, but still.

Barry has been keeping track of who won’t respond. I find it appalling. I find it appalling because if any of these politicians or handlers have listened to Barry’s show, there have been zero gotcha moments. It has been a polite platform allowing Chester County voters who are just regular peeps who don’t go to rallies and fundraisers to learn about candidates…even if they are not your cup of tea.

Cocky Craig Williams the State Rep currently in the PA 160 has also been playing dodge ball with Barry. Barry is his political people and he still ignores the outreach. Which is also just rude. I am going to ask Barry for a list of the game players. They are plentiful and include Grandma Charlotte Valyo head of the Chester County Dems who has cancelled twice after agreeing, claiming vacation, yet has time to send a poorly crafted statement recently to the Daly Local. But as I told Barry, she is no great loss and a yawn of a speaker anyway. So in that case, she’s doing voters a favor.

But back to Elizabeth Moro. She has been cultivating a public image. It seems to mostly line up with who she is so what is she afraid of? She had an ad out a couple of years ago, but people want to hear her in real time and if she can’t do a simple radio interview how is she going to get ahead in her district? Here’s hoping she talks to Barry and doesn’t play pass the pump at Brandywine in White this August 25th. It’s supposedly the last one and it will be at Crebilly Farm. I am not going to attend. I like the event they do, it’s lovely, but I am just over white parties and if you do it right, it is a lot of work. And if I am going to donate to something that ultimately benefits a non-profit, I prefer that my donation be tax deductible, and they do good things but they don’t have their own non-profit. But she does own the Centreville Place Cafe & Market, which is a lovely spot especially if you are a Francophile.

And Elizabeth? Rethink WCHE. Barry doesn’t bite and in fact his father was the first Democrat elected a supervisor in Upper Uwchlan, Ramsey DiLibero. And this family donated family land to Upper Uwchlan to keep open space alive there in a sea of often bad development. So yeah, Elizabeth, that’s a little more about what Barry is about. And if you are really nice, maybe he’ll take you on a balloon ride. He owns America One and it’s a flag shaped balloon and I rode in it on an anniversary of 9/11. You can also visit him at ASC Title and Tags in Chester Springs. And how we became friends? When he worked to save Ludwigs Corner Horse Show grounds with other residents and politicians from eminent domain for private gain. So now you know about Barry other than WCHE. You won’t need to run away now…but your red patent wedges were super cute!
