Pennsylvania Congressional District’s 8 & 13 Races Quick Hits

PA Congressional District 8 – According to Real Clear Politics the district is a tossup. This is bad news for Moveon Democrat Patrick Murphy and fantastic news for the constituents of PA CD8. Republican Mike Fitzpatrick is working to bring fiscal sanity back to the constituents come November.

PA Congressional District 13 – Josh Quinter, candidate for CD 13,  announced the ballot petition challenge has been dropped:

Late Friday afternoon I learned that the challenge to my ballot petitions was dropped. The lawsuit has officially been marked as withdrawn in Harrisburg. Because the time to file such challenges to the ballot petitions has expired, no further legal challenges can be made to my candidacy. Despite the best efforts of groups unwilling to listen to the will of the people, this candidacy that is a threat to their political future continues to fight. This could not have been accomplished without the help of so many on my campaign team and my supporters who continue to do so much to help me bring common sense and fiscal sanity back to Washington.

Although the challenge has been dropped, Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz remains conspicuous by her silence. In typical fashion, she says nothing and refuses to address her constituents. Not only did she fail to call for the petitions to be withdrawn, she has refused to even address the issue. Her decision to meddle in the Republican primary with the expectation that people will simply ignore it shows both the arrogance of power and her complete disconnect with the people of this District. This must stop!

Together we can and will be victorious in November. Only then will accountable, responsible representation that listens to the people be restored in Pennsylvania’s 13th Congressional District.

We fight on and forge ahead.
