| Description | State Rep. Jim Christiana (R) declined to run for Congress today, just a few day after Pennsylvania Republicans released a new Congressional map with a redrawn House district tailored for him.
“I will postpone any consideration of a run for Congress for another season,” Christiana said in an open letter that cited mostly family considerations as his reason for eschewing a bid.
Christiana’s announcement came as Pennsylvania Republicans are reportedly having trouble collecting enough votes to pass the map through the state House. A Pennsylvania political news website, Capitolwire, predicted that state House Republicans are 20 votes short of passing the map and are scrounging for Democratic support. |
