Reading, Pa - The following is a statement from Dr. Manan Trivedi, Democratic candidate for congress, in response to Congressman Gerlach's decision to quit his bid for governor and instead run for re-election to Pennsylvania's 6th congressional district.

"Nothing changes. The fact remains that being born and raised in the 6th district, my life experience and life's work still place me as the most uniquely qualified candidate, Democrat or Republican, to become our next congressman.

"As a physician, I have dealt with the struggles Americans face in the quest for real health care reform. As an Iraq War veteran, I have a real-world understanding for how to deal with our national security threats. Whether they are a professional politician or a professional pundit, no other candidate in this race has been on the front lines of the most pressing issues that our nation faces today.

"In the majority and in the minority, Jim Gerlach has proven to be an ineffective Congressman. He stood by the flawed Bush-Cheney policies on fighting terror, allowed Wall Street fat cats to run our economy into the ground and failed to fight for millions of Americans without health care. We need leaders who will stand by their convictions and fight for policies that improve the lives of all Americans. That is why I am running for Congress and why I am going to win the Democratic primary and win in November. And because of that, nothing changes."
