More Congressional Race Updates

Things are starting to heat up. There are now Republican challengers in the 7th and 8th congressional challengers. According to the Inky (and a number of other sources) Thomas Manion will take on Patrick Murphy and Wendell Craig Williams will try to unseat Joe Sestak. (See “Father of fallen Marine to seek office,” by Larry King 12/16, and “Delco GOP picks Gulf vet to face Sestak,” by Mari A. Schaefer 12/16)

Josh Drobnyk is reporting that Sen. Bob Casey’s brother, Chris Casey, has decided not to run for the 6th congressional district against Republican Jim Gerlach.

My three guesses on who would be next to endorse Republican Dan Meuser were incorrect. Don Ely has decided not to challenge 10th district Rep. Chris Carney himself and is endorsing Meuser. This race was briefly outlined in The Politico (“Polls show Carney in strong position for reelection,” by Josh Kraushaar 1/11
