Related: About this forumDon't Vote for Critz - Say Marriage Equality, Reproductive Rights & Environment Groups
http://www.politicspa.com/pa-lt-gov-groups-combine-for-anti-endorsement-of-critz/57941/This is a first. Three major organizations in PA. have joined forces to urge voters to vote for any Lt. Gov candidate other than Critz. Critz was a one term Congressman before he was defeated.
"In the race for Lieutenant Governor, though, we now have progressive groups combining for an anti-endorsement.
Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania PAC, PennEnvironment, and Equality Pennsylvania are all joining forces in order to prevent the nomination of former Congressman Mark Critz.
Democratic voters need to know that Mark Critzs voting record clearly shows that he does not support women, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, or the environment, the groups stated in a joint press release. While most of the candidates in Tuesdays Democratic primary race for Lt. Governor hold positions consistent with the partys electorate, Mark Critzs voting record is so far out of step that these diverse groups came together to be sure that Democratic voters are fully informed.
Here is a comment in that post from a woman from Lancaster:
"As keynote speaker at the Federation of Democratic Women, Critz told a joke that was so unbelievable, we were all stunned. The joke belittled Home Invasion, Rape and Homosexuality, while he was speaking to a room full of Democratic Women from all over the State of Pennsylvania."

Here's links to a couple other leading PA. candidates for Lt. Gov in PA., who are each endorsed by many progressive organizations:

There is no political value in supporting a conservative Dem for Lt. Gov. The Lt. Gov is elected as a team with the Governor in November.
