CLEARFIELD – Candidate for U.S. Senate Dave McCormick will make a campaign stop in Clearfield on Friday, Nov. 1 at 12:15 p.m. at Grice Gun Shop.
Supporters are encouraged to arrive early.
McCormick will discuss his plans to fix the economy and lower prices, how he will encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, provide safety from the threats posed by illegal immigration and protect America from outside adversaries.
He was born in Washington, Pa., and raised in Bloomsburg, Pa. He is a seventh-generation Pennsylvanian, a West Point graduate, combat veteran and Bronze star recipient.
McCormick is a Pennsylvania job creator and a business leader. He’s a national security expert and a strong and experienced voice for how to overcome the threat from China.
And, most important, McCormick is a devoted husband and father of six bright young women for whom he wants to preserve the American dream.
McCormick was nominated to the U.S. Military Academy by a Pennsylvania Senator, and became the first kid from Bloomsburg to attend West Point in decades.
After graduating, McCormick went on to serve in the 82nd Airborne Division as a paratrooper. He was deployed to the Middle East during the first Gulf War and received the Bronze Star for his service in Iraq before retiring as a captain.
After the Army, McCormick earned his Ph.D. in international relations from Princeton University before moving to Pittsburgh to start a career in business.
He worked his way up to become the chief executive officer of FreeMarkets, a successful tech startup that employed hundreds in western Pennsylvania.
In 2005, McCormick was called to service again, this time in the highest levels of government, including as Under Secretary of Treasury and as Deputy National Security Advisor.
For four years, he spearheaded the fight to protect American technology from Chinese theft, advised the President on key national security issues and helped negotiate the global response to the 2008 financial crisis.
