It appears that Pennsylvania Republicans aren’t satisfied with Washington Republican’s handpicked candidate in the 7th Congressional District, Lisa Scheller. Despite national Republicans putting their weight behind her, the number of candidates running in the primary has doubled. Awkward.
The three Republicans have wasted no time in attacking each other’s records and tying themselves to Trump. Former race car driver Matt Connolly, has promised to “support Donald Trump’s agenda unapologetically” and Dean Browning has staked his candidacy on “firmly support[ing] Trump.” In other words – start your engines, it’s about to be a nasty race to the right.
“While Republicans fight over who can tie themselves most closely to President Trump, Representative Susan Wild will remain focused on delivering for Pennsylvanians in the 7th Congressional District by working to keep down the cost of health care and increasing access to educational opportunities,” said DCCC Spokesperson Courtney Rice.
