Small Business Group Endorses Guy Ciarrocchi For U.S. Congress

CHESTER COUNTY, PA - Republican candidate for U.S. Congress Guy Ciarrocchi was endorsed Wednesday by the National Federation of Independent Business, a national small business advocacy organization.

Ciarrocchi is running against incumbent Chrissy Houlahan, a Democrat, to represent the 6th District, which covers all of Chester County and portions of southeastern Berks County.

The endorsement was announced Wednesday during events at Kennett Tire and Service, Kennett Square, Chester County, and Nolde Pines, a landscape business in Cumru Township, Berks County.

“Guy Ciarrocchi’s experience at the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry makes him a strong candidate,” said Sharon Sussin, the federation’s senior national political director.

“We are confident that he will be a small business champion in Congress and look forward to working with him.”

Greg Moreland, Pennsylvania federation director, said Ciarrocchi has extensive knowledge of small business issues and will be an advocate for pro-small business policies in Congress.

“He recognizes that Pennsylvania small businesses are facing high inflation, supply chain issues, and staffing shortages and has committed to working on finding solutions for these issues,” Moreland said. “We are confident that he will be a reliable small business voice and are pleased to endorse him today.”

Ciarrocchi, a former Tredyffrin Township supervisor and chairman of Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry, was initially running for governor and switched to run for Congress.

He was chief of staff to Lt. Governor Jim Cawley, U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, and State Sen. Melissa Hart. He also served as the director of Affairs for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
