Press release

HARRISBURG, PA – The Garrity for PA Campaign issued the following statement following the U.S. – Israel airstrikes on Iran, killing the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.


Stacy Garrity said: “For nearly a half century, Iran has served as the World’s leading state sponsor of terror, killing thousands of innocent men and women, and repressing its own people, all while pursuing ambitions of nuclear weapons. Today, Iran and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were held to account.


Having been deployed three times to the Middle East in service to our nation, I will always stand with the brave men and women of our military – who serve with strength, discipline, and honor to protect our nation. Today, our military carried out their mission with precision, and we should all be proud to live in a nation protected by their sacrifice.


My heart is also with the people of Iran who are courageously seeking freedom and basic human rights in the face of oppression. The Iranian people deserve dignity, opportunity, and the ability to determine their own future. With the death of the Ayatollah, it is my sincerest hope that the people of Iran grasp this opportunity to transform their home into a nation where its people can live in peace and freedom.


Our thoughts must also go to Israel and her people. For years, the chant of “Death to Israel” was heard across Iran. But today, it was our ally Israel that stood side-by-side with America to deliver the blow that will hopefully pave the way for the people of Iran to live. May Israel remain safe and secure.


God bless the United States Armed Forces, may they continue to carry out their mission with distinction, and may they all return safe to their families and their country that cherishes their service,” concluded Garrity.


Stacy Garrity served our nation for 30 years, rising to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, serving three deployments in defense of our nation: Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. 


While prisoner abuse scandals raged, it was Stacy Garrity who emerged as a national leader in managing internment camps for enemy combatants. She kept the camp secure and American troops safe without a single complaint of abuse from Iraqi soldiers interned on her watch. Stacy was twice awarded the Bronze Star and received the Legion of Merit, being hailed as the “Angel of the Desert” for her service.

Stroudsburg Borough Municipal Building
January 14, 2026
Residents of Stroudsburg are coming together to call for greater transparency and accountability in local government through a newly updated public petition. The petition asks for an independent review of recent events and governance practices that have raised questions under Pennsylvania’s Borough Code and the Public Official and Employee Ethics Act. Since the petition began, concerns have been raised regarding potential conflicts of interest, incompatible offices, revolving-door employment, and the handling of election-related matters. In particular, attention has focused on the sequence of events involving the Mayor being sworn in, subsequently resigning, and then accepting a paid Borough position, as well as publicly circulated audio that references election-related decision-making. While no conclusions have been made, many residents believe these circumstances merit careful review to ensure public trust is protected. The petition serves as a way for community members to respectfully express their desire for ethical governance and clear, lawful processes. It also emphasizes the importance of open dialogue, transparency, and public participation in Borough affairs. If you are a Stroudsburg Borough resident or someone who cares about the integrity of local government, you can read the full petition and add your name here: https://www.change.org/p/petition-update-transparency-and-ethics-concerns-in-stroudsburg-borough Community members are also encouraged to attend the next public Borough meeting: Tuesday, January 20, 2026 7:00 PM 700 Sarah Street, Stroudsburg, PA Public meetings are an important forum for residents to ask questions, stay informed, and engage in the democratic process. Continued civic participation helps ensure local government remains accountable to the people it serves.
