PA-07: When Is A Republican, No Longer A Republican? Crosswell Walks Fine Line.

Does party affiliation brand someone for the rest of their days?

Or can you switch to the ideology that fits you today?

Ryan Crosswell is trying to walk that fine line as a former Republican turned Democratic candidate for the 7th Congressional District.

Crosswell is one of four candidates on the Lehigh Valley ballot on Tuesday, along with Bob Brooks, president of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association, former Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure, and energy executive Carol Obando-Derstine.
