Updates on 39th and 47th district races

Just to keep you up to date on 2 of our most hotly contested races (both open seats):

In the 39th district, we have a potential opponent for Democratic nominee Dr. Tony Bompiani. The Westmoreland County Republican Party will decide officially on Saturday, but they likely will select Bush loyalist Kim Ward. By the way, President Bush is very unpopular in Westmoreland County.

In the 47th district, we are moving closer towards selecting an opponent for Republican nominee Elder Vogel, Jr. Lawrence County Democrats selected Jason Petrella selected last night, with Beaver and Allegheny Counties still yet to weigh in.

Check back this weekend and early next week for updates. Both of these races will be competitive and on both parties' radar screens.

Please contribute to help our candidates spread their message and win these races! Remember, we need to pick up 4 seats by 2010 to avoid the gerrymandering of 2000 all over again. And these 2 races are vital in that endeavor.
