Thanks to redistricting, my Representative, Tim Holden, was replaced by Charlie Dent!
I was thrilled to vote for Dent, having met him a couple years back as a representative of Paralyzed Veterans of America. Charlie was one of the few politicians who met with us, and didn’t pass us off to some aide.
And surprisingly, Tim Holden wasn’t liberal enough for the people in Lebanon city, because he was beaten by a stinking trial lawyer!
I do know Russ Diamond, who was selected as a delegate. He is a Ron Paul supporter, but not as crazy as some. I think he’s a fairly decent guy, IMHO.
He was running in CD 15 and didn't win according to the numbers I looked at on the PA web site this morning.
I like Charlie Dent. He is a great guy to chat with and does have an office that takes care of constituent issues efficiently. I have no problem voting for him and putting his bumper sticker on my car. One thing I would caution you is that he is a RINO. Don't think you are getting a Conservative here. In comparison to Holden, he is 100% better, all the way around.
