The 18th State House District has been in Republican hands ever since the district was moved entirely into Bucks County.To learn more, click here.
On this past Primary Election Day, April 22, 2008, I received 7,439 votes to become the Democratic nominee for State Representative. The incumbent Republican candidate, Gene DiGirolamo, received only 3,439 votes. Although these numbers do not translate into a guaranteed victory in November, they do show that this race will be closer than those in the past.
Democrats now outnumber Republicans in the 18th House District by 3,014-19,401 Democrats to 16,387 Republicans. This is the biggest margin between Democrats and Republicans since the late 1970s. In addition, out of 29 voting precincts in the 18th District, 22 are now majority Democratic and only 7 are majority Republican (LE5, LM2, LM3, U1, U10, U11, W7).
Two years ago, when Gene DiGirolamo was elected to his 7th term, the Democratic edge over Republicans in the 18th district was only 85. When you add all of this up, clearly, we are in a strong position to elect a Democratic State Representative in 2008.

A Word For Harris Martin
Local PA political stuff; maybe I’ll concentrate on non-FISA-capitulating Dems for awhile…
