REPUBLICAN MAIN STREET PARTNERSHIP PAC ENDORSES MELISSA BROWN FOR CONGRESS

Washington , D.C. – Calling her a “perfect fit” for Pennsylvania ’s 13^th Congressional District, the Republican Main Street Partnership Political Action Committee today announced its endorsement of GOP candidate Melissa Brown for the U.S. House of Representatives.  

Brown is running for the open seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Joe Hoeffel, who is running for the U.S. Senate. A longtime resident of the Keystone State , Brown nearly defeated Hoeffel in 2002.    

“Brown’s candidacy provides Republicans with the opportunity to pick up a seat that has been in the Democratic column,” said the RMSP PAC's Sarah Chamberlain Resnick. “The 13^th District is a true swing district – perfect ground to elect a moderate Republican like Brown.”  

“Brown’s commitment to fiscal responsibility, quality education for all and affordable health care makes her a perfect fit for Pennsylvania ’s 13^th District and the House of Representatives,” Chamberlain Resnick added. “Her election to Congress would strengthen the GOP majority and the centrist Republican voice in Congress.”
