My vision is clear. My efforts are focused. My commitment is unwavering.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Pryor has begun to gather support in the surrounding community for his run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFrank is just the kind of person we need to be our State Representative\u201d, said Jim Mosley, an East Fallowfield resident. \u201cHe is smart, hardworking, and committed to the long term development in all of the communities that comprise the 74<span class=\"s2\">th <\/span>legislative district.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">The district includes <\/span>the townships of Caln, East Caln, East Fallowfield, Sadsbury and Valley; the boroughs of Downingtown, Modena, Parkesburg and South Coatesville; and the City of Coatesville.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Pryor has been a faculty member in the Political Science Department at Villanova University since 1997. He has built solid relationships throughout Chester County and with policymakers in Harrisburg. In 2014, Frank was appointed to serve on Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf\u2019s Transition Team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cFrank is a polished professional,\u201d says Emango Hopewell. \u201cBut I am most impressed with his lifetime of community service, volunteerism and dedication to youth development programs like the Coatesville Youth Initiative. He is just the kind of leader our district needs, and the reasoned voice we want in Harrisburg representing our interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\">\u201cOur team has already begun to knock on doors and engage voters. The response thus far has been fantastic across the entire district.
