Neal Gale has more than 38 years' experience in energy efficiency, managing a low-income, energy affordability program. He lives with his wife and daughter in Abington, Montgomery County, and has been a resident of the state for 46 years.

"We need someone," said Gale, "who will stand up in the U.S. Senate to declare a state of emergency regarding our changing climate and the devastating impact it is already having on our communities, our state, around the country and across the globe."

As a candidate from the Green Party, Neal Gale is set apart from both Senator Casey and Senator Toomey. Consistent with Green Party values, he is staunchly against the resource-driven wars of late, believing government resources can be used more wisely.

"Both major political parties in Congress have just supported an alarmingly bloated military budget which will fund endless proxy wars by the U.S." Gale continued, "The Green Party is the only political voice for those who object to taxes being funneled to these wars in our name."

"As a Senator," Gale told the Green Party delegates, "I will have the power to initiate legislation that expresses the will of the people to protect the already compromised environment, reduce spending on the U.S. war machine and make more sound economic decisions for the economy."
