Iovino has run for the Dem nomination a couple times in this area (she dropped out when Lamb entered for CD17 and old CD14), but never succeeded. She's a great candidate, amazingly qualified, retired Navy Captain (O-6 = Army/USMC/AF full Col), VA asst secty.

Raja has actually been the GOP candidate for a few Pgh area offices and never won. Politically, he's kind a known retread. Iovino has a really good shot at flipping this seat, imho. If she does, it would cut the GOP edge in the state senate by 1 more.
