Congress

Luzerne County has 2 Congressional Disticts thanks to last gerrymandering that went on after the last census. As long as I can remember Scranton and Wilkes-Barre always had different Congressman. In Luzerne County we had Dan Flood and up in the wild north they had Joe McDade. Now Scranton has been taken out of the 10th and supposedly it's a safe Republican seat. I don't know.

There are a lot of people pissed at Don Sherwood. A surprise candidate emerged, Kathy Scott.

A Williamsport woman said Tuesday she will oppose U.S. Rep. Don Sherwood in the Republican primary on May 16, claiming the incumbent “is not living his personal life in a way that’s honest and moral.”.........

Last November, Sherwood agreed to a confidential deal settling a lawsuit filed by 29-year-old Cynthia Ore, who claimed the congressman had repeatedly assaulted her during a five-year relationship. Sherwood, 65, is married.
