On March 11 at St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Republican conferees gave Burns 85 of a possible 131 votes for the special election spot. Russell received the other 46 votes.

However, Russell remains on the primary ballot and says he is determined to give Burns a run for his money.

“The party didn’t support me,” Russell said. “The party is leery of me. But I don’t need them to make it.”

Russell said his polling showed him leading Burns by 30 points at mid-week, while Gleason says his people have Burns ahead.
