Dems looking to challenge in GOP-held districts

A nice article on western PA Dems who are stepping up to challenge the likes of Rothfus and Murphy and even Mike Turzai.

There's also info about a western PA Dem specific PAC that was recently formed to help fundraise for these Dem candidates.

We have to get rid of Murphy. He is in lockstep with the trumpsters. I hope the democrats can field a good candidate to challenge him.
