Skrepenak had considered running for Don Sherwood's United States House of Representatives seat that was contested and won by Chris Carney in the 2006 elections. He had admitted aspirations for higher office. However, after meetings with the National Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee he decided not to run for the United States Congress in the heavily Republican district. Congressman Sherwood's defeat allowed the district to go Democratic for the first time since 1961. Skrepenak was re-elected by finishing among the top three in a contest for county commissioner. The unofficial results were Maryanne Petrilla (D) 33,827 votes (29%), Greg Skrepenak (D / Inc.) 32,281 (27%), Stephen Urban (R / Inc.) 27,835 (24%) and Bill Jones (R) 24,071 (20%).
