This week, we take on the brouhaha in the State House. See who won and who lost that PR battle.
Celebrity look-alikes, Fitzgerald brings $750,000 to his campaign for County Exec, President Obama is coming to central PA, PA’s Senators get their committee assignments, and the state parties each try to spin Wednesday’s State House antics.
Here they are folks, the men and women of Pennsylvania politics who resemble men and women of fame and stardom.
President Obama is coming to central Pennsylvania. The White House Press office just put out a statement saying the president will visit on Wednesday, February 2nd. The exact location hasn’t been announced yet.
PoliticsPA has learned that Allegheny County Council President Rich Fitzegerald will report more than $750,000 cash on hand when he files his campaign finance report next week.
Senator Bob Casey is about to step into the Congressional spotlight. It was announced this afternoon that the Senator will chair the JEC, which is charged with overseeing economic conditions and economic policy and includes members from each the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Toomey will serve on the Banking; Budget; Commerce, Science and Transportation; and Joint Economic committees in the 112th Congress. Hay may be just a freshman, but PoliticsPA thinks it’s a matter of weeks until he begins shaping GOP policy. Tops.
Valerie Caras was hired this week as Director of the Communications and Technology Departments for the Republican Party of Pennsylvania. PoliticsPA profiled Caras and asked where she sees the PA GOP headed in 2011.
Democrats and Republicans are in an all-out brawl over a new set of PA House rules. Casey is ready and able to take on pro-life GOP challengers. Anti-Marcellus movie ‘Gasland’ is up for an Oscar. Toomey will be stopping by the Tea Party caucus. And Chaka Fattah penned a response to the SOTU in the Huffington Post.
Democrats charge that Republicans are deliberately stifling debate. Republicans say they are simply trying to prevent obstructionism. As you might have guessed, it depends on who you ask.
Do you agree that ByteDance should be forced to divest TikTok?
