Good morning politicos, we’re back! Here’s the Buzz. Election season is on us in earnest, and we have tons of news to start your week.
In the race for U.S. Senator Bob Casey’s seat, Republican rival Tom Smith has outspent and out-fundraised key opponent, Steve Welch. According to the Associated Press, Smith reported $2 million in his campaign account after spending almost $3 million in January, February, and March of 2012.
Rep. Jason Altmire isn’t taking this foot off the gas. His latest television ad keeps up the attack on Rep. Mark Critz’s votes against Dodd Frank, his ‘present’ vote on the Tea Party budget, and his vote to defund Planned Parenthood.

Three men are seeking the Auditor General seat currently occupied by Jack Wagner, who cannot seek re-election due to term limits: State Representatives Eugene DePasquale (D-York) and John Maher (R-Alleghney) and Republican Frank Pinto. DePasquale and Maher are also running unopposed in re-election bids for their current House seats. According to a Patriot News report, both say that their constituents demanded that they seek both offices simultaneously.
Ken Lee hopes to get by with a little help from his friends. The Democrat seeking to replace retiring Rep. Todd Platts scored the support of former Rep. Joe Sestak Friday. Lee had spoken as a surrogate for Sestak during his Senate bid, and even lent him office space in Harrisburg.
Happy Friday the 13th, politicos. We have some presidential, some local and some Harrisburg names on this week’s list.
