They better not lay a hand on my Fitzpatrick
Rick Tellesz is the announce candidate for PA 16th district not 15th district. Rick is the most viable candidate to win that race and beat my Kelly. I’m not sure why he is listed here in the 15th district according to the map you posted. It will need to be corrected.
These politicians are all hardos. They should just sit back, smoke a joint, and enjoy life.
One of the dumbest comments I have read on this site.
Some challenger in the 8th needs to remind everyone Matt supports the Afghan refugees being placed near Hazleton as well as the private jets trafficking in illegals. T
he news media is deep sixing the stories.
And COVID declared over by D governors, don’t want to see Biden keep dropping in polls. No surprise, they used the virus as a weapon against Trump not figuring it would come back to bite them.
The former Auditor General (Dem) DePasquale is running in the 10th.
Not correct
Houlahan is the only Democrat running in CD6. All the others are Republican. Would appreciate the editorial correction.
There is a Navy Veteran running for Congress in the 12th district Hopefully the democrats will spend all their money to win the primary About 33% of the district is republican leaning The winner of the Democrat primary will be a true communist Making it a great choice for voters
You’re right. His name is Don Neville – running as Republican in the 12th district.
I guess republicans won’t even try in liberal district 12.
Ryan Mackenzie announced a run for reelection in the state house.
