Lisa Borowski Runs For State House Term In D-168

RADNOR, PA — Lisa Borowski, a Democratic candidate for state representative, is running for a two-year term to represent four municipalities in Delaware County.

Under the new Pennsylvania redistricting map that is based on the 2020 census, the district consists of Radnor, Newtown, Edgmont and Middletown townships.

The district covers 52.6 miles and has a population of 65,789.

Borowski seeks to replace Republican incumbent Christopher Quinn, who has been in office since 2016.

Quinn, resides in Middletown, and has served three terms. He established an independent insurance agency in Delaware County in 2002.

Borowski resides in the Newtown Square section of Radnor Township with her husband, Mark, and they have two sons, Ryan and Justin.

She is a graduate of Radnor High School, and has a bachelor’s degree in communications from Drexel University.

Borowski said she ran for school board over 10 years ago because she wanted to make positive change in the community she has called home her entire life.

“I helped create the area’s first full-day kindergarten, invested in school facilities, and upgraded the curriculum,” Borowski said.

Borowski also served as vice president of the school board, and later ran for township commissioner. She then served as president and vice president of the board of commissioners.

Borowski is a longtime fan of the Philadelphia Phillies. She also enjoys reading, supporting environmental activities, music, and being with her family.

Borowski and Quinn were provided with the same questions on the same date for a “meet the candidate story.”

Here are Borowski’s answers to questions about current issues in state government:

What is your position regarding Pennsylvania gun laws in light of the May 24 fatal shootings of 19 children and two adults in Texas? Pennsylvania does not have a law pertaining to assault weapons? Do you favor restricting or banning assault weapons?

“We need common sense gun reform now to prevent gun violence and keep our communities safe. I support a ban on assault weapons, as well as universal background checks, closing loopholes in firearm legislation, and red flag laws. I’m proud to have earned the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.”

What is your position on Pennsylvania’s abortion laws following the Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade, returning the issue to the states?

“Abortion access is a fundamental right – everybody has the right to make their own decisions about their futures, and politicians do not belong in the doctor’s office. We must do everything we can to protect abortion access in Pennsylvania.”
