The 117th District now rep- resented by 4th term State Representative Karen Boback (R) increases its footprint in the northern tier. “I am really excited about this reorganization as I seek my 5th term .in office,” said Rep. Boback. “ My commitment is unwav- ering. I will continue to work alongside my colleague, and friend, Representative Sanda Major, as we transition into our new districts.” The redistricting map takes effect for Pennsylvania’s 203 House districts and 50 Senate districts in the 2014 Primary Election. “People are excited about redistricting. They are volunteering to work on my campaign,” Boback said. Reverend Charles Gommer is Campaign Chairman for Friends of Karen Boback. “Karen Boback is always dedicated to the well-being of her constituents. She has the courage needed to take on the forces that threaten our communities,” said Reverend Gommer. State Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/ Wyoming) will continue to represent the people in the 111th District as it now exists throughout 2014. State Rep. Karen Boback who currently serves a sig- nificant portion of Wyoming County said that she will be running for re-election in Jan- uary 2014. The winner of the General Election will represent the new district beginning in 2015. “While I will certainly miss the district I have come to love, respect and represent for over six years, the new district is unique in that it represents who Karen Boback is,” she said. “I was born and raised in Lackawanna County, spent forty years of my professional life in Wyoming County, and have been an active resident of Luzerne County for forty- eight years,” Boback said. “Without a doubt this will be an asset in that I have always been an integral part of these communities.” Advertisement Paid for by Friends of Karen Boback
