In 2006, Chris Carney, a liberal college professor, took the seat. This year, we at RedState hope to take it back with Chris Hackett. Mr. Hackett, a CPA, is both a fiscal and social conservative. He is pro-life and anti-earmarks. His opponent, Chris Carney, has been spending federal dollars on earmarks claiming they bring the bacon home to the tenth. The problem is, Carney can't explain how his vote for fruit fly research in France brings jobs home. Chris Hackett, on the other hand, can deftly explain how growth in Washington kills jobs in the 10th.
The 10th Congressional District is an entrepreneurial district. It has a median income of $35,996.00 and includes the city of Carbondale. Chris Hackett knows the district and, more so than Carney, relates to the district. In an area of Pennsylvania where many of the residents either work for themselves or small businesses, Chris Hackett is also an entrepreneur. Having purchased SHS TechStaffing, a recruiting and temp staffing business, he grew and expanded the company inside the 10th Congressional District and then through Pennsylvania and several other states.

Chris Hackett sounds good to me. A consistant conservative in a conservative district, and a CPA, as well.
Rumors that former incumbent Donald Sherwood would be running on the newly formed “Choke-a-Bitch” ticket for the general are as yet unconfirmed.
If so, he will double and maybe triple his support on here.
You ought to get him to sign up and address us directly. We would enjoy sending some questions his way I am sure.
LOL.
Too bad Hackett can’t win, the RNC would never allow it.
“Chris Hackett sounds good to me. A consistant conservative...”
Really? The same Chris Hackett whose company helped pay for Vicente Fox to speak at Wilkes University last fall - and then had the audacity to personally go AND PROTEST the same event he helped sponsor? Please...
