I'm one of the voters in PA's 42nd District who sent incumbent Tom Stevenson packing, in favor of 21-year-old Mark Harris, who just graduated from George Washington University this week.

Stevenson tried to make a big deal out of Mark's age, even sending out campaign literature with a picture of a treehouse, saying, "Mark Harris never paid property taxes, but if he did, maybe this is what he'd be living in" - with the implication that Mark was a kid who plays in treehouses.

At our polling place, both sides had hand-written placards attached to the door. Stevenson's said, "Brought $$$ into our district", Mark Harris sign said, "Opposed middle of the night stealth pay raise".

Stevenson can take his overfed carcass back to the "real world" and sell insurance or something, instead of leaching off the public by voting himself sickeningly-generous pay raises from the public largesse. Seventeen PA state reps got booted in this primary, from both parties.

Are you sitting down?

I agree with you.

I like Mark. He is a kid, but a smart one with lots of common sense and a grasp of the issue and knows the difference between right and wrong.

Stevenson was great on the gun issue, but he loved to spend the taxpayers money and for a man who is 6'5", he didn't have the spine to do anything that didn't have leadership's approval.
