Waxman in the 182nd

Okay, let's try to follow the bouncing ball.

Congressman Chaka Fattah, facing charges, is still running for re-election for Pennsylvania's 2nd congressional district.

A handful of Democrats have announced campaigns to challenge Fattah.  Among them is State Rep. Brian Sims (D-182; state house campaign site, congressional campaign site, legislative site).  PoliticsPA is reporting that he will run for re-election in the state house while he runs for Congress.

To fill that void, Ben Waxman is running for Sims's state house.  Waxman is the spokesman for State Sen. Vincent Hughes.  The Penn Dems (University of Pennsylvania student Democratic organization) is listed him as a candidate in the announcement for their Dec. 2nd meeting.  Prior to that the Citified blog at Phillymag.com listed him as a potential candidate and the www.votewaxman.com site is live.

Get your scorecards ready!
