"Historically, Montgomery County was a stronghold for the Republican Party."

3 out of 5 U.S. representatives are Republicans

Chaka Fattah, Democrat, 2nd district
Ryan Costello, Republican, 6th district
Pat Meehan, Republican, 7th district
Mike Fitzpatrick, Republican, 8th district
Brendan F. Boyle, Democrat, 13th district

"Barak Obama won Montgomery County in 2008 and 2012, however Republicans hold many local offices in the county."
