Paige Abandons Scranton (Again!)

May 14, 2026

Political opportunist Paige Cognetti, America’s most notorious missing mayor, is at it again. Cognetti was spotted at the airport getting off a flight from Chicago today.

Why is she abandoning her city in the midst of a crime crisis she’s responsible for (again)? Was she in Chicago fundraising with liberal elites? Voters deserve to know.

Paige Cognetti and Karen Bass.  Two mayors who abandon their city at the first sign of trouble.

REMINDER: this isn’t the first time Cognetti has abandoned Scranton in crisis. This winter, Cognetti fled Scranton during a historic snowstorm to schmooze with DC elitists.

“Political opportunist Paige Cognetti has proven time and time again that she’ll abandon Scranton at the drop of a hat, as long as it benefits her personally. Pennsylvanians deserve better than Cognetti’s absenteeism.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
