DescriptionThe competitive 7th District House race could very well end up being a three-man contest.

Jim Schneller, the Tea Party candidate who is running as an independent, said this week that he has collected enough signatures to get on the ballot. Pennsylvania election law makes it very difficult to gain ballot access as an independent or third-party candidate. Schneller needs about 4,200 signatures, equal to two percent of the total votes that incumbent Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7) received in 2008. With the Aug. 2 deadline to file nominating petitions looming, Schneller says he’s gathered about 5,200 signatures.
