Stay tuned–we’re headed to PA-12 this weekend for Tim Burns!


Next Tuesday is Election Day in Pennsylvania, and most notably in the 12th Congressional District on the outskirts of the Pittsburgh area in Southwestern PA, where voters will have a real choice for the first time in over three decades. This seat has been held by Democrat Jack Murtha for that time, and his passing created the vacancy that this special election will fill. Democrats are running a former Murtha staffer who spent his time in DC working to pass a liberal agenda, and waited until after healthcare reform passed to come out and say he opposed it but does not support a repeal. Sounds a bit fishy, to say the least. Republicans have found a gem of a candidate in Tim Burns, who has not made the race about Jack Murtha, but rather about the fact that voters there share many of the same fiscally conservative, pro-gun, pro-life views that he holds.
