| Description | Former 12th District Congressional candidate Tim Burns has met with the National Republican Senatorial Committee as he considers mounting a challenge to U.S. Senator Bob Casey, according to a report published by National Journal staff writer (and former PoliticsPA editor) Alex Roarty.
Burns, an entrepreneur who founded the pharma-tech firm TechRx after graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, was twice defeated last year by U.S. Rep. Mark Critz, a former John Murtha staffer who succeeded his boss in Congress.
Last May, Critz earned a seven-point victory in the country’s highest-profile congressional contest, the special election to determine who would finish out Murtha’s eighteenth term. Burns narrowed the gap with a full term at stake in his November rematch with Critz, but ultimately lost despite the Republican electoral wave that wrested control of the U.S. House from the Democrats. |
