Springfield Republican Party Chairman Mike Puppio announced at last night’s (Feb. 19) campaign kick-off meeting that the Democrats have tapped La Salle University political science professor Mary Ellen Balchunis-Harris to take on incumbent Republican Pat Meehan in Pennsylvania’s 7th District congressional race.
Visit here to see what Ms. Balchunis-Harris’ students say about her.
Also, Puppio noted that the race to fill the 26th District state senate seat being vacated by Republican Ted Erickson is expected to turn out to be the most expensive state senate race in Pennsylvania’s history.
County Council Chairman Tom McGarrigle, a Springfield mechanic who worked his way up to owning his own garage, will be the GOP nominee.
He is endorsed by the party and does not appear to have a primary opponent.
