The map of the new Pennsylvania Congressional districts has been approved by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Carbon County is now part of a district that includes Northampton and Lehigh counties and a sliver of Monroe County. The district is currently represented by Susan Wild.
That means we will be getting rid of Congressman Dan Meuser, a guy who moved twice into the district so he could use his wealth to run for office. He is a right-wing jerk, and good riddance. Now all we have to do is make sure Susan Wild wins in November.
I have said that Carbon is more aligned with the Lehigh Valley area in many ways. For all my life many Carbon people are employed in that area. This is a great move for our area. Also, it great to great rid of Meuser. I believe that I only recall of two times he even came to Carbon.
ReplyDeleteCarbon County residents definitely have more in common with the Lehigh Valley than with Luzerne or Schuylkill counties.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good move.
