State Rep. and 6th District Congressional candidate Curt Schroder received the endorsement of seven of his local House colleagues Monday, his campaign said.

Those lawmakers who endorsed Shcroder include Reps. Tim Hennessey, Chris Ross, Jim Cox, Doug Reichley, Kate Harper and Mike Vereb. Each represents part of the the 6th District.

Schroder also received the support of state lawmaker and GOP gubernatorial candidate Sam Rohrer, an endorsement whose significance could increase if his campaign gains traction in the Republican primary. Rohrer is a favorite of some grassroots conservative activists.

Schroder faces businessman Steve Welch, former Revenue Secretary Howard Cohen, and Chester County Recorder of Deeds Ryan Costello for the district’s GOP nomination. Each is trying to succeed incumbent Jim Gerlach, who’s also running for governor, in a primary most expect to be very competitive.
