PA STATE REPRESENTATIVE
177TH DISTRICT

Robyn Lee Bird personifies Port Richmond and the rowhouse neighborhoods of the River Wards. Four generations in the same Port Richmond rowhouse. A family that came from Poland through Ellis Island and never stopped serving—from World War I and Omaha Beach to Iraq and today’s firehouses, service runs deep in Robyn’s blood.

Like too many families in our community, Robyn faced devastating loss at an early age. At just 15 years old, she lost her father to the heroin crisis. That hardship shaped her life and taught her a lasting truth of the River Wards: we take care of our own.

PA GOVERNOR

Stacy Garrity has never backed down from a fight—whether serving in uniform overseas, leading in the boardroom, or protecting taxpayer dollars as Pennsylvania’s Treasurer. A retired U.S. Army Reserve Colonel, business executive, and now statewide elected official, Stacy brings real-world experience, battlefield-tested courage, and no-nonsense leadership to everything she does.

As Treasurer, Stacy has saved taxpayers nearly $200 million by eliminating fraud, abuse, and inefficiency in government. She brought private-sector discipline to public office, rooting out waste and demanding transparency and accountability. Under her leadership, the Treasury has returned over $1 billion in unclaimed property to hardworking Pennsylvanians and saved families millions through smart management of programs like PA 529 College & Career Savings and PA ABLE.

Stacy has also prioritized returning dignity and honor to veterans and their families—returning more than 450 military medals, including 11 Purple Hearts and 3 Bronze Stars, that had been forgotten in state vaults.

A proud ally of President Trump, Stacy shares his commitment to putting Americans first. She supports protecting healthcare and welfare benefits for our most vulnerable citizens, while making sure government works for the people—not the other way around.

Known as a watchdog for the taxpayer and a champion of commonsense leadership, Stacy is now running for Governor to take her fight to the next level. She’s more interested in raising hope than raising taxes—and she’s ready to make Pennsylvania a place where businesses thrive, families flourish, and every dollar is respected.

A native of Bradford County and a graduate of Bloomsburg University, Stacy has never forgotten where she came from. She brings grit, integrity, and a deep love of Pennsylvania to everything she does—and she’s just getting started.

173RD DISTRICT

For 35 years, families in Northeast Philadelphia knew Bill Griffin as the teacher and principal who cared about their kids. At Austin Meehan Middle School, Kennedy Crossan Elementary School, John Hancock Elementary Demonstration School and General J. Harry LaBrum Middle School, he worked to create classrooms where students could grow and learn, and where parents felt heard and respected. Families trusted Bill because he was fair, steady, and always showed up for the community.

After retiring from the School District, Bill didn’t slow down. Today he serves families as a licensed real estate agent, guiding them through home sales, purchases, and big decisions. And when schools need a trusted leader, Bill still answers the call as a substitute principal.

Bill and his wife, Dawn, raised their family here. They understand the pressures families face today—from safety and stability to rising prices and higher costs impacting seniors and working parents. Now a grandfather of seven, Bill wants to make sure the next generation can grow up in a community that is safe, affordable, and full of opportunity.

Bill isn’t a career politician; he’s a neighbor who listens and solves problems. He believes government should make life easier, not harder, and focus on the basics families care about most: safe blocks, good schools, reliable health care, and a fair shot for seniors and working families.

As State Representative, Bill will put people before politics and fight for practical solutions that make everyday life better for Northeast Philadelphia.
