HD-2 It will be Ex-Erie Mayor Rick Filippi. Merski is a douchebag. His claim to fame is that his dad was Sheriff of Erie County for a number of years. He works for the Erie school district and serves on city council for the past 4 years. He’s as dumb as a rock.
Jay Breneman has some government funded job and serve on Erie county council. He loves the limelight of poltics. However he is a political operative who cares only about advancing his own self and his own agenda.
The other 2 candidates both Repubs, don’t stand a chance in hell of being elected in this heavily Democrat district. However, the job does pay well, you get a state leased vehicle and plenty of perks! So you can’t blame ’em for trying.
I’d be real surprised if Merski pulls it off, but then the people of Erie elected Sonya Arrington to city council and she turned out to be a real loser.
Jay Breneman is the only pro-choice candidate. Disgrace that the other two aren’t.
SEAN WAYLAND IS NO LONGER ON THE BALLOT IN 177. YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR LIST
Burda, Wayland, Footman, and Mallory Scott were all removed from the ballot. A little research could have helped that
Several candidates on this list have withdrawn or been removed and will not appear on the ballot.
Lauren Footman was booted off the 164th ballot a while ago.
Since when does making a list count as icing a rundown? I clicked this story to see some insight….
