NationwidePA Senate Races, 2010
So, here they are. The Democratic challengers to incumbent Republican State Senators. What do you know about them? Which are socially progressive and fiscally responsible? Which should PA members of Democracy for America be supporting? Please leave a Comment with your thoughts. Please also indicate if you live in the district.

As a resident of the 6th
As a resident of the 6th senatorial district, I support Bryan Allen. I believe he has the knowledge and experience to serve the district well.
Bryan Allen is Da-man.
Bryan Allen is Da-man. Young, energetic and upcoming in politics. Untarnished and ready to hit the ground running. Time for new blood in office!
As a Bible Believing Born
As a Bible Believing Born Again Christian Pro-Life democrat, I fully support Bryan Allen for Senate. He will stand up to corruption, evil, and sin that Tominlinson has refused to do so since being in office. As Bensalem Council member, he (Allen) stood up to JoeyD, and his cronies, and he will do the same in Harrisburg.
John Jordan is the man to
John Jordan is the man to vote for in the 6th Pa senate race, He represents ALL the people of Bucks. He is straightforward, upfront and will get the job done.
John Jordan is the candidate
John Jordan is the candidate of choice for me. i have seen his work time and time again in the community. He is a proven leader in all communities around the county. A real stand up guy who will get the job done. We need activist and leaders to beat the Republicans not the same old politicians. JOHN HORDAN FOR SENATE !!
Bryan Allen It is time, once
Bryan Allen
It is time, once again, to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans. Bryan Allen has all the leadership qualities necessary to be the standard bearer of the 6th District!!
As a resident of the 10th PA
As a resident of the 10th PA Senatorial District, Cynthia M Philo, is the best candidate that the Democrats have had in a long time. She has been active in the Newtown Borough and Newtown Townships in fighting for reform, transparency and accountability in government. For the first time in history, partly through her efforts the Democrats now hold a majority in the Borough of Newtown. But change and reform is slow, especially when you have "DINO's" in office. Cynthia won the unanimous endorsement of the District 31 Democrats at the February Bucks County Democratic Party Endorsement Meeting and the rest of the Democratic Party County organization as well. But the Republicans are rich, organized, disciplined and GOTV. Turnout is critical in November if she has any chance of winning. There is a strong anti-incumbent mood in the electorate, regardless of party. People won't even sign nomination petitions for our Congressman Patrick Murphy or for our State Representative Steve Santarsiero. From what I have seen and heard about her, she deserves our endorsement.
I totally agree with your

Bryan Allen is a hack.
Bryan Allen is a hack. Untarnished? Not by a long shot. He's just as dirty as the people in Harrisburg he claims he wants to oust! We saw right through his charade and voted him out after just one term. He's a PARTY hack! Plain and simple!
