Congressional hopeful Valerie Arkoosh has selected some of the political pros who will assist her effort to succeed Rep. Allyson Schwartz.

Arkoosh, of Montgomery County, is a physician (she teaches medicine at Penn) and progressive activist. She raised $218,000 in the first quarter of this year.

“We’ve put together a team of the most well-respected and experienced names in Democratic politics, with a track record of winning tough races across the country,” said Dr. Arkoosh. “I’m proud to be working with such an outstanding group.”

It’s not the definitive list. One big position that’s missing: campaign manager. The campaign is still in the process of choosing one says Arkoosh’s initial staffer Julia Fahl.

“I was just short term consultant to help Dr. Arkoosh file and get her team together. I am currently transitioning out of the campaign and am just doing some small tasks while Ellen Sun (FD) transitions in,” Fahl said.

Fahl is a local politico who now works for CeaseFirePA.

Arkoosh faces the likelihood of a crowded Democratic primary. State Reps. Brandon Boyle and Mark Cohen (D-Phila) have both filed to run as has state Sen. Daylin Leach. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky also appears likely to run.

Leach announced his campaign team earlier in April, and Boyle named a pair of consultants on his race.

Here are the staffer and consultant bios from the Arkoosh campaign release:
