At
least 78,000 voters in PA-16 think we need change in Washington.
Fortunately, enough voters across the country saw that need as well
and elected a Democratic Congress. While I am disappointed not to be
part of the 110th Congress, I am indeed happy to see the progress
Democrats and thinking Republicans are making so early in the
session.
