Welcome!
I am Peggy Banaszek and I will be on the Democratic ballot for State Representative for the 182nd District on April 22, 2008. As a Philadelphia native, a resident of the district for a decade, and a life-long Democrat, I have a deep and personal commitment to serving my neighbors. I have been consistently involved in civic, non-profit, and neighborhood efforts, from patrolling and organizing with Town Watch to working on budgets in City Hall. My academic background, years of experience as an effective Project Manager in the Medicare and health insurance industries, and volunteer service have prepared me to work effectively within government while maintaining a fresh, practical approach. I will work hard for my neighborhood and my neighbors - as I have always done - and will do so with integrity and enthusiasm.

The Journey, not the Destination
Apr 23, 2008
As you all know, the results are in. I would like to thank all of you for your contributions of time, energy, thoughts, and ideas. I want everyone to know that I am so proud of the people who supported me, the campaign, and how we challenged the status quo. We brought in new ideas about what representation means and have offered new ideas. We made a difference.
Unfortunately, this part of the journey is over. The results show that the incumbent will continue on to the general election in November. The votes may not have gone my way, but I will continue to stand up for reform, accountability, and leadership. Now it is time to celebrate what we have accomplished and for me to say – Thank You for standing by me.
