PITTSBURGH (KDKA) â In an early look at the 2016 White House race, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is leading all Republican challengers in the swing state of Pennsylvania. Thatâs according to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
And then there was one: Chester County Commissioner Ryan Costello stands alone in the prospective Republican primary to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Jim Gerlach. He has the backing of Chester County GOP Chairman Val DiGiorgio and it seems as though the party has coalesced around his run. The Democrats, on the other hand, are not nearly as cohesive. State Rep. Mark Rozzi (D-Berks), Chester County Commissioner Kathi Cozzone, Manan Trivedi and State Senator Andy Dinniman (D-Chester) are all still considering (or at least, havenât ruled out) a run against declared candidate Mike Parrish in the Democratic primary.
