PA-09: Wallace (D) Announces Challenge to Meuser (R) [View all]
Rachel Wallace, a former chief of staff in the Office of Management and Budget in the Biden Administration, has announced her campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 9th Congressional District.
A veteran public servant who was born and raised in Pottsville, Wallace hopes to challenge incumbent Republican Dan Meuser with a campaign that will focus on lowering the cost of living, protecting access to affordable health care, and bringing people in the community together.
“People are so frustrated with Congress and the state of politics today, and I have seen that up close and in person,” Wallace said. “This is my home, and I want to fight for my neighbors by putting the focus back on our local communities and the problems we face, from the high cost of groceries to our broken health care system. Dan Meuser has looked out for himself in Congress, and it’s past time we had someone looking out for us.”
A 9th-generation Pennsylvanian and the daughter of a nurse and a pastor, she grew up in Pottsville and graduated from Pottsville Area High School. Wallace, a graduate of George Washington University, had an internship with former Congressman Tim Holden that led to a career in public service in the U.S. Senate, at the State Department, and in the White House Office of Management and Budget.
