He talked about his "love for his hometown" and the speech then transitioned to what was very "clearly a campaign speech tackling inequities with the US tax code and taking aim at his opponent, former president Donald Trump."

The crowd inside the Cultural Center was invite-only, close to 100 people, familiar faces in Lackawanna County politics, according to the report.
