“Congratulations to Steve Santarsiero for a hard-fought victory in this competitive open seat; I am confident that he will be ready to take the fight to Brian Fitzpatrick. Steve is a highly-qualified, passionate advocate who is ready to make sure the economy works for everyone in Southeast Pennsylvania. Democrats clearly have the edge in this district in Presidential years, and families there are ready to send a Democrat to fight for them in Congress.
