Conor Lamb: The next step to taking power back happens on March 13th

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/23/republicans-brace-for-competitive-pennsylvania-house-race-316206

Though the district favors Republicans, the contrast in candidates, coupled with the enthusiasm coursing through the Democratic base around the country, has some GOP operatives in Washington and Pennsylvania on edge as they look ahead to the March 13 election.

"If you look at every special election to date, Republicans have been underperforming Trump’s [margin] by double digits," said Titus Bond, a Republican strategist and polling director for Remington Research Group. "I don't think Republicans are going to lose this seat, but it's going to be a battle and they're not going to take any chances,” he added.


The next strike comes here. We need to fight for this seat and build to 2018. You can donate here: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/lamb-for-congress-1

With the assault on public education, this is an important for many. I searched and could not find any information on this.

With all due respect to the importance of your question, does it really matter? Lamb's opponent promotes "school choice". Quote: "Taxpayers refuse to continue funding a system that produces marginal output at great cost, especially when more effective alternatives are available." He recognizes no separation of church and state, proposing a bill to urge schools to display the motto "In God We Trust". He's a religious zealot with no apparent respect for public education.
