The Repugs in the PA state legislature are like cockroaches, impossible to get rid of. Maybe now Tom can get some things done!
I’m in Bucks Co., disgusted that Fitzpatrick fooled enough people with his “moderate” act, and our state rep Craig Staats weaseled his way back in despite Wolf and Casey winning big in the county.

which although doesn't bring us a majority in either chamber of the General Assemply, will hopefully set us up for clawing more back in 2020 and maybe be able to take the state House.

NC was one of the most severely gerrymandered states in the nation.
