Regular Fox News guest Sean Parnell on Wednesday announced that he will challenge Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb in Pennsylvania's 17th Congressional District.
President Trump praised Parnell earlier this month during a visit to Pittsburgh, saying he would be a formidable challenger to Lamb.
"I am so excited to announce that today I'm declaring my candidacy for the great people of Pennsylvania's 17th District for Congress of the United States," Parnell, an Army veteran, said in an appearance on "Fox & Friends."

Lamb, a Marine veteran and rising star in the Democratic Party, defeated former Rep. Keith Rothfus (R-Pa.) in the only national race pitting two incumbents against one another in 2018 after the 17th District was redrawn.

Do any Penna Freepers know anything about these candidates?
Republican primary for U.S. House Pennsylvania District 17
Sean Parnell (R)
Brian Thomsen (R)
Scott Timko (R)
What matters most is getting rid of that POS Lamb.
Coin political report rates it likely democrat. Hmmm, not so sure it isn’t a toss up. Lamb had to run on a lot of Trump agenda and against being Pelosi’s stooge.
How do that end up?
Just saying.
I first thought the title was about the car :)
Too bad one’s not named Slaughter.
Sean “mint jelly” Parnell
Lamb was one of the “moderate” Dems who won the seat initially in a special election and then in a midterm in a district that was newly gerrymandered by the Dem-controlled Pennsylvania supreme court.
He ran promising to work with Trump to get things done for the district (which includes lots of Trump territory in western Pennsylvania, but also now includes a slice of Pittsburgh to dilute the conservative majority in the district). But of course he has loyally goosestepped to Pelosi’s leftist agenda and impeachment. Conservatives have a great chance to retake this seat in 2020 if they unite behind a good candidate.
Pelosi puppet - pro abortion too.
Parnell is the best choice to take on Nancy Pelosi’s little Lamb. Lamb’s USMC Service consists of 14 short months as a JAG desk jockey in Okinawa as compared with multiple tours of duty in actual combat zones for Parnell.
