PA-01: Lucia Simonelli Give Democrats Another Option in the Congressional Primary
Lucia Simonelli is running against a growing field of Democratic candidates hoping to be the Pennsylvania’s First Congressional District’s (PA-01) chosen contender to unseat incumbent Republican Brian Fitzpatrick next year.
Simonelli, of Quakertown, said primary races with more than one candidate on the ballot provide voters with the biggest range of options. She also believes Upper Bucks County voters have been under-represented for far too long.
“I think there is a real potential to activate and have a strong primary election. Healthy competition for the one opportunity is valuable because the primary is part of the election process where we have a choice,” she said.
She added the best way to beat a “strong and popular incumbent” is to reach as many voters as possible.
