PA-07 should be one of Democrats' best pickup opportunities, but the field so far has had challenges. Top fundraiser was a Republican until this year and only moved to the district months ago. The exec of the swing county raised <$100k. Newcomer Carol O raised <200k in 2 months.
Did not know George Washington was messy like that “The day after Washington read it out loud to the full cabinet, Randolph submitted his resignation.”

He’s clearly just trying to undermine the Mexican Coke market as a negotiating tactic
*TRUMP: COCA-COLA AGREED TO USE REAL CANE SUGAR IN US SODA
Significant haul for a first-time candidate that speaks to her deep connections in Democratic political circles. It rivals what many House candidates raised over the last three months. But will it help quiet concerns in the district about her time spent away from the state?
Jessica Killin's campaign says it raised more than $750,000 in its first 24 hours. #copolitics
