Pennsylvania’s Comeback is the Story of America First

Pennsylvania is experiencing an economic resurgence attributed to the implementation of “America First” policies following President Trump’s 2025 inauguration. The state is being highlighted as a model for national economic recovery.

Leadership in Pennsylvania

Jondavid “JD” Longo, the Mayor of Slippery Rock Borough since 2018, chairs the Pennsylvania chapter of the America First Policy Institute (AFPI). Longo, a Marine veteran and lifelong Pennsylvanian, expressed his commitment to leading the chapter and advocating for policies focused on families, energy independence, and election integrity. Mary Stiffler serves as the Executive Director of the AFPI Pennsylvania chapter.

Economic Growth and Investment

Since President Trump’s inauguration in 2025, Pennsylvania has seen significant economic growth driven by America First policies. These policies have attracted substantial investments and created new job opportunities throughout the Keystone State.

Honoring Heroism

The America First Policy Institute’s Pennsylvania Chapter, under the leadership of Jondavid Longo, recently honored the family of Corey Comperatore, a Butler County firefighter who died in the line of duty. The family was invited to Mar-A-Lago for the unveiling of the “Corey Comperatore Award,” recognizing his heroism.

Looking Ahead

As Pennsylvanians anticipate President Trump’s State of the Union address, the state’s economic progress serves as a testament to the success of America First policies. The continued implementation of these policies is expected to further strengthen Pennsylvania’s economy and improve the lives of its residents.
