Jake Towne spent the past four years working as a chemical engineer in the semiconductor industry in Shanghai, China, where he saw learned first-hand what the loss of liberty looks like. He has declared his candidacy for United States Congress in eastern Pennsylvania's 15th District. Running without a political party affiliation, Towne's message is that by protecting individual liberties, defending economic freedoms and promoting peace, the end result is prosperity. Towne favors a restoration of the Republic and a return to the rule of law under the United States Constitution and believes the devaluing of our dollar currency is a critical and pressing issue. Towne also plans to implement a novel “Open Office” method of open government if elected. The heart of this idea is an online public forum belonging to residents who could comment and offer opinions on legislation, submit bill proposals, and reports phone and letter feedback. His campaign website, TowneForCongress.com, has debate and discussion features enabled for any visitors. Jake has written an eco-political column for the past two years entitled “Yet Another Champion of the Constitution” at NolanChart.com
