PA-08: DCCC Statement on Jim Bognet Campaign Announcement

It’s Already Nasty In This GOP Contest to Out-Crazy Each Other

Today, failed 2020 candidate Jim Bognet announced his 2022 campaign for Congress with a proclamation of his support for the Big Lie of the 2020 election that led to the attack on the Capitol.

Bognet’s entry sets up a vicious GOP primary with Teddy Daniels, who has mocked law enforcement who protected the Capitol on 1/6 from the mob Daniels was a part of, has rallied with extremists during his campaign, and has already raised more than $430,000.

Daniels has already attacked Bognet personally for underperforming Trump in 2020 and living with his parents, saying:

Every politician talks about kitchen table issues. What’s his kitchen table issues? ‘Mom, bring me another hot pocket?’

James Singer DCCC Spokesman 

“This radical race to the right is already getting nasty and personal. As Bognet and Daniels are squaring off to out-crazy each other, Pennsylvanians can be assured Rep. Matt Cartwright will continue delivering for them.”
