The amount of money going into the #AlleghenyCounty executive #election is ridiculous. The article is about campaign finance reform, but why is influencing who wins worth that much in the first place? Campaign finance reform might help a little, if only to make voters feel like their vote counts instead of only money counting.

In the race for #AlleghenyCounty executive, Weinstein is the pro-fracking candidate: he needs to lose.

Due to an absolutely bizarre situation, the balance of the PA State Assembly all comes down to 3 special elections in Easter Allegheny County. It's a perfect time to get together at a great local coffee shop in Penn Hills and talk about the race, the candidates, and the state of PA politics. All on ground hogs day eve. Hope you can make it. #FWD #ForwardParty #RCV #Pittsburgh #AlleghenyCounty #SpecialElection #GeneralAssembly #PA32 #PA34 #PA35

Pennsylvania Allegheny County friends-

On February 7th, there will be 3 special elections to fill the seats vacant from the election of Austin Davis to Lt, Governor, Summer Lee to the U.S. House, and from the unfortunate passing of Mike DeLuca.

The balance of power in the state House of Representatives will be determined by voters in three districts in the eastern part of the county: the 32nd, the 34th, and the 35th. Democrats need to win all three in order to solidify control of the House and keep Republicans from undermining the legislative process by passing bad constitutional amendments, which bypass the Governor.

Things on the PA Republican agenda include anti-abortion rights legislation and other right wing agenda items.

This story reiterates why the Forward Party is so necessary. The voters’ only option would be for incumbents who voted against certifying this year’s results, if the Forward Party is not on the ballot for the at-large members of Allegheny County Council.
