The Candidate for PA's 19th Congressional District

In Central PA, we are a practical people. We are a hard working people. We are a very independent people. Many of us are libertarian, anti-Washington, old-fashioned get-out-of-my-way-and-I’ll-make-it-on-my-own American self-sufficients. This can make us seem conservative to outsiders because we often expect people to take care of themselves and we don't want to interfere with anyone’s private life. But it is not conservative to respect someone's privacy. It is not conservative to expect someone to take responsibility for their own actions! It is American! And we, as Americans in Central PA, understand this and we live it every day and that is how I will win: By reminding the voters in our district that practical people are progressive people. read more...

Strong family and values

Born and raised in Central PA, Ryan Sanders grew up on a small farm close to the Susquehanna River. With a family rooted in York and Adams County for 10 generations you can expect that he was taught the Central Pennsylvania traits of frugality, respect for others and a strong work ethic. His father, an assembly line worker, and his mother, a registered nurse, raised him to use those lessons every day and have shaped his lifelong commitment to service. Ryan graduated from Cumberland County's own Dickinson College and received a Master's Degree in International Relations from Syracuse University.

Common sense approach to governing

While completing his master's thesis on government reform, Ryan worked in Brussels, Belgium for the European Commission. He spent 5 years working in Washington DC before returning to his hometown to start his own business with his brother. They currently have two companies; Lion Technologies, a computer consulting business and a real estate development company, Red Lion Development Corp, which works to revitalize historic property in Red Lion. Three years ago, Ryan was elected President of the Red Lion Area Business Association. He has used this seat to promote his hometown and support the revitalization of buildings, business and community in Southern York County.

The right kind of experience

Ryan is not a career politician but a concerned citizen, determined to bring a strong voice to our seat in the House of Representatives. He believes that America must reverse the erosion of national unity and restore the meaning behind the pledge of a Allegiance; "One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." We as Americans rise and fall together. We succeed or fail together. He will be a hard working leader and fierce advocate for our community and our country.
