Sean Meloy running to replace Conor Lamb in PA-17

https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-local/2021/11/08/Sean-Meloy-for-Congress-17th-District-Pennsylvania-openly-gay-congressman-Conor-Lamb/stories/202111080016

I have advocated for progressive candidates to run in districts with large numbers of disaffected white people who vote for Rs. Meloy fits that bill with an agenda that should resonate with voters in this district.

He is a Dem, worked for Mike Doyle. He's also LBTQ, an organizer since high school and has helped elect other LBTQ candidates.

He's definately not a conservaDem like Lamb.
