Update: Papenfuse Is Running a Negative Campaign
By: Sean M. Guay
Harrisburg, PA – Instead of standing up on behalf of the tax paying citizens in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Mayor Papenfuse wants to engage in a battle of political ideology. This is a battle that he cannot win. Taking on President Trump through the Mayors Office is not a political maneuver that city residents stand to gain anything from.
Also happening this week, Papenfuse and Harrisburg Police have been quiet on a horrible Robbery/Murder crime that has rattled the community. In a tragedy that went down looking like a broad daylight execution style murder in the heart of a residential community in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, city residents have not yet been reassured of their safety by the Mayor. Harrisburg citizens haven’t been made aware of any new measures to combat the violence associated with the heavy drug trade that is plaguing this city.
Papenfuse has not issued any statement on this recent event, it has been 5 days. This tragedy is one that still has a surreal feeling to the affected families, as well as the neighbors in the community that are being impacted by this drug related violence.
In a move that has backfired dreadfully for the Mayor, he has ignored the tragedy that occured in the neighborhood, and instead attemtped to use the stage of the Presidetial Visit to our city, as a platform for him to help others launch a stand against the ideology of our United States President.
Exclusive for Harrisburg100 Mayoral Candidates Jennie Jenkins, and Anthony Harrell have issued statements in response to the tragedy that occurred Tuesday April 25 at the intersection of N. 3rd & Muench Streets.
Jennie Jenkins
As a former Police Officer in the City of Harrisburg, crime reduction is a primary objective of Jenkins campaign. With her real life experience of how things actually work in the tough streets of Harrisburg, Jenkins qualifications exceed those who are relying on text book knowledge.
Jenkins says: “It’s a terrible thing to hear of someone being murdered, whether it is from Harrisburg or any other city in the world. It’s too early to say if they came to Harrisburg specifically to cause trouble, or to murder, because that would be interpreted as premeditated. The truth is that this senseless and cowardly act did occur in Harrisburg City. I believe that the Harrisburg Police are among the best in the country, and they have an excellent track record of successful investigations. I pray that all family and friends of both the victim and alleged persons who committed this murder, can find calm during this time.”
When I suggested to Jenkins that the shooter might want “payback” on the victim for a previous bad drug deal, and that also, there is supposedly another female co-conspirator who was in on the current drug deal and maybe helped set up the robbery, Jenkins replied: “Now I believe that, based on previous incidients in Harrisburg.”
Look for the Harrisburg100 follow up on the Robbery/Murder case very soon, included exclusive interviews with the witnesses.
Of the local tradgey, Anthony Harrell says: “Violence is spreading all over the county, but its a Law enforcement issue and I fully support them and pray for the victims and their families”
Papenfuse Easily Persuaded
Instead of building a rapport with our new President, Papenfuse instead decided to hold a counter-rally against Trump supporters, and “hopes that Trump learns from his mistake of calling Harrisburg a warzone.”
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on trade before his rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night.
“We believe in ‘Made in the USA,’ and it’s coming back faster and faster,” Trump said. “We’ve taken unprecedented steps to bring back American wealth, American jobs and American dreams.”

Among other topics, Trump called out MS-13, the violent street gang who haunt American cities. He reviewed his plans to take back control of our country and inner cities. He cited the staggering reduction in illegal border crossing at our southern border with Mexico.
Holding firm to his ongoing feud involving the biased main stream media, President Trump ditched the tradition of attending the Correspondents Dinner, and he instead held an incredible rally for his loyal supporters in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to celebrate his first 100 days in the White House.
The first order will conduct an in-depth review of our International Trade Agreements. Specifically, the order is to determine whether America is being treated fairly by its trading partners and the 164-nation World Trade Organization.
The second order will guarantee the future of American Manufacturing, by establishing an Office of Trade and Manufacturing.
Of course, these measures are not sufficient to the calls by Trump opposition. The liberal media has already portrayed Trump’s speech divisive, at a time when the country is desperate for unity.
Harrisburg
Will this be the catalyst needed to rebuild the ‘warzone’ City of Harrisburg? That remains to be seen.
South Harrisburg continues to struggle in the original so-called ‘warzone’ section where the 2014 Sinkhole Disaster occurred, for which the city is depending on the federal government for funding, but they fear Trump’s proposed cuts to HUD could hurt the Obama approved bid for assistance.
Papenfuses actions this week in no way help Harrisburg’s bid for federal assistance, when President Trump is already fed up with the childish meltdown style reactions from the Democrats ever since losing the election.
