The numbers are in. Here are the PA congressional candidates who rose and fell this quarter.
Good morning politicos, here’s the buzz. We unveil our Q2 list of fundraising winners and losers; Romney came to western PA Tuesday, Michelle Obama is in Philly today, and a GOP super PAC has reserved $1.6 mil in Philly airtime.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney attacked President Obama for undervaluing the contribution of individual business owners to the U.S. economy during a campaign stop in southwestern Pennsylvania Tuesday afternoon.
The conservative super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund is reserving television time in the Philadelphia media market for fall political advertisements, with plans to spend $1.6M.
Q2 figures are in and the congressional race in PA-6 is likely to remain competitive. Jim Gerlach raised a healthy $341K to Manan Trivedi’s $260K, though he has more COH than any other Dem challenger in the state.
During the President’s Women Vote 2012 Summit, singer/activist Alicia Keys didn’t put on her usual musical performance. Instead, she, along with other famous female Dems sang Obama’s praises and talked women’s issues at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
With Mitt Romney planning a trip to Westmoreland County today, the Obama camp has released a new ad called “Makes You Wonder.” The ad discusses the GOP candidate’s refusal to release more tax information, and highlights his use of offshore bank accounts.
Good morning politicos, here’s the buzz. Romney rallies today in western PA, and Dems roll out the welcome. Q2 numbers continue to pour in, and a Dem poll says Critz’s lead against Rothfus is slipping.
Phil Scollo has gained a bit of ground in fundraising against Rep. Tom Marino, but still faces a huge deficit in the GOP-friendly 10th district. The Democratic businessman raked in over $60,000 in the second quarter; Marino pulled in just under $100,000.
Q2 fundraising totals from PA-8 candidates Kathy Boockvar and incumbent Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick weren’t far apart. While Fitzpatrick raised more than his opponent, $395,501 to $329,802, both candidates had an impressive quarter.
