Louis "Trey" Casimir is announcing that he is seeking the Democratic nomination for the State Senate from the 23 rd District, which includes Lycoming, Bradford and Sullivan counties as well as parts of Union and Susquehanna counties.
Trey is a member of the Lewisburg Borough Council, is secretary of the Lewisburg Area Recreation Authority board and is past secretary of the Lewisburg Business and Professional Association. He helped found the Central Susquehanna Citizens Coalition in 2005 and was chosen by the Center for Progressive Leadership in 2007 to participate in their emerging political leaders program.
Trey grew up on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Lewisburg and graduated from Lewisburg Area High School in 1978. He was an avid sport fisherman as a youth, but now only fishes for what he will eat. He dreams of someday catching a shad at the shad dam in Lewisburg.
He is married to Amy Janel Casimir and is the father of Carter, Cole and Teddy. Like all parents, Trey hopes his children don't have to move away if they don't want to, so he is determined to do what he can to see that they have a thriving Pennsylvania to grow in.
Trey is a licensed acupuncturist with a private practice on Market Street in Lewisburg and is running on a theme of "A New Prescription for Pennsylvania."
Trey entered the race because he is concerned that the treatments being tried in Harrisburg aren't curing the ills that affect Pennsylvania. He thinks state government is too expensive, frequently ineffective and sometimes dangerous. Trey hopes his fresh perspective can help preserve the health of the environment, prevent the disintegration of our traditional communities, protect against over-dependence on foreign oil, and return our ailing economy to robust health. He thinks it is a sin that anyone in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania must go without needed medical care.
He will be traveling extensively throughout the district, beginning with a series of petition-signing parties on Jan. 26. His scheduled appearances on that day will be as follows: 8:30-9:30 a.m. at the Weigh Station Cafe in Towanda, 10:00-10:30 a.m. at The Vale Restaurant in Muncy Valley, 11-11:45 a.m. at the Holiday Inn in Williamsport, and 12:15-1:00 p.m. at the Brookpark Station Café in Lewisburg. Later in the spring and summer, Trey intends to tour the watersheds of the district by canoe with his family to emphasize the natural connections that bind us together and transcend our man-made political barriers.
