Shapiro Update

Heard in City Hall has a note on a swanky Josh Shapiro fundraiser this Friday. Shapiro, currently the Deputy Speaker of the House, is running unopposed. Minimum suggested contribution: $500.

From Philadelphia Magazine's October issue, "Obama Goes to Philly," by Matthew Teague:

A couple of days before the planned speech [Obama's speech on race], State Representative Josh Shapiro of Montgomery County received a call from Obama advisors. "They said he was planning this speech to outline race relations and they were looking for input," says Shapiro.


Busy guy.

Josh made big mistake atacking the Democratic Leadership instead of supporting it.

I doubt he has much of a future in Pennsylvania politics now.

If by leadership you mean DeWeese I think he did the right thing and given his seemingly close relationship to the president-elect I wouldn't write him off just yet ...
