A Quick Look at the 10th Congressional District

Don Sherwood, incumbent Republican congressman for the 10th congressional district will face Democratic challenger Chris Carney in November.

Sherwood barely survived a tough primary battle against Kathy Scott, who spent less than $5,000 on the race. At the end of March Sherwood had over $600,000 on hand. His rather messy extramarital affair was a factor in the primary. The Hill had a nice article in early May discussing Sherwood, Scott, and Carney, a political science professor and in the Navy Reserves.

Carney's campaign has put together a nice introductory video for those wishing to learn more about him. (It is also on his website.)

The 10th District contains the Central Susquehanna Valley region of Snyder, Union, Northumberland and Montour counties; the Back Mountain area of Luzerne County; Bradford, Sullivan, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Wayne and Pike counties; parts of Lycoming County, parts of Lackawanna County and Ward Township in Tioga County.

Thanks for reviewing the race! Things are really taking off here in Northeastern PA, and we can really use your support to take back this District and fight for change in Washington.

Please show your support by voting for Chris Carney at:
