Lancaster County Democratic Women's Association
has Endorsed Jose Urdaneta for State Senate

Doug Hoke - York County Commissioner

We in The 13th senatorial district truly have a chance to elect the most qualified person to represent us.  Few people have impressed me like Jose Urdaneta. His commitment and involvement to his family and community would lend well to everyone in the 13th district. His open mind ness and ability to work with everyone, including those that have opposing views is praiseworthy and refreshing. These characteristics coupled with his business experience make him the ideal choice to represent York and Lancaster in Harrisburg.

Bruce Slater, Candidate - 16th Congressional District

It is my honor to endorse Jose Urdaneta in his bid to become the State Senator for the 13th State Senate District.  Jose is a hard worker in his private life and as a member of the Lancaster City Council.  His values are my values, including a belief and support of strong families, and his valuing high educational standards and extensive educational opportunities for all.  His success as the sole proprietor of a small business indicates he knows the meaning of working hard while keeping focused on  what it costs to survive in this economy.  I believe Jose Urdaneta represents the values of every one of us in Lancaster and York Counties . 

Eugene DePasquale, State Rep. 95th District

In the short time I have known Jose Urdaneta, I have come to understand why he is such a well liked leader in the Lancaster community. His charisma, intellect and genuine desire to care and fight for others is immediately evident. I am impressed by his business success as well as his ability to utilize this experience in his economic leadership role. I was most impressed seeing him interact and receiving a warm welcome by York county natives during the 2008 Olde York Street Fair. The people of the 13th senatorial district in both York and Lancaster counties have someone in Jose that they can feel confident in representing them in Harrisburg; someone they can count on to get the job done by working diligently with all members of the House and Senate.

Mike Sturla, State Representative 96th District

I am pleased to endorse José Urdaneta for the State Senate 13th District.  As State Representative in the 96th District, which includes Lancaster City and portions of Lancaster Township, I have first hand knowledge of José Urdaneta’s exemplary service on the Lancaster City Council, Lancaster Economic Development Committee, and Lancaster Property Reinvestment Board as well as his role as a founding member of the Lancaster ‘Weed and Seed’ Crime Prevention program.  José Urdaneta has both the Integrity and Experience to represent the residents of Lancaster and York Counties.

Bill and Judy Saylor

I have known very few public officials with a greater sense of integrity than Jose Urdaneta. It is a privilege to be able to offer my endorsement for his candidacy for the 13th District Senate seat.

Judith Saylor Lancaster County Jury Commissioner

I am honored to endorse Jose Urdaneta as a candidate for the State Senate. For years I have known him to be honest, dependable, hard working, loyal and dedicated to public service. I can't imagine anyone more qualified to serve us in the 13th District.

Bill Saylor, Penn Manor Committee person

"With experience as a small business owner and as a member of Lancaster City Council, José Urdaneta brings a fresh perspective to the issues facing working families in the 13th Senatorial District and throughout Pennsylvania."

Phil Lastowski, Millersville Borough Council

José Urdaneta has my endorsement because I believe he is well qualified to be our next Pennsylvania State Senator for the 13th District. José's experience, as a small business owner and as a community volunteer with various social services organizations in Lancaster County, such as the Lancaster Community Safety Coalition, the Lancaster Recreation Commission, serving on the boards of Boys and Girls Club of America and the Urban League, and currently serving on Lancaster City Council gives him the background that suits him ideally to work for the people of the 13thDistrict.

José has strong positive views for the future of the 13th District and will share his vision when serving in the State Senate. José will work hard to solve the problems.

With the retirement of Senator Gib Armstrong, the people of the 13th District will need a strong voice in Harrisburg to address the current issues affecting us and the issues that will affect us in the future. José Urdaneta will be that strong voice that we will need to represent us all.
