GOP better be on top of all these machinations in critical states.
Via NY Post:
HERSHEY, Pa. — Chuck Duncan is not the kind of guy who sits on the sidelines.
Duncan, who serves in the National Guard and was deployed to Jordan last year, was outraged when his local board of supervisors decided to raise property taxes to pay for a $32 million community center here. “I saw that as irresponsible, so I decided to run. It was as simple as that,” Duncan said.
On Tuesday night, he battled it out in a three-way primary for Derry Township supervisor — and won.
Duncan is one of several local candidates in Pennsylvania being funded by the new Kennedy Democrats PAC, which is recruiting and supporting moderates in the mold of JFK and his brother Robert who can wrest control of down-ballot seats from the GOP.
Robert F. Kennedy’s eldest child, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, is backing the project along with her cousin, former congressman Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island.
She said they’re tackling the state of Pennsylvania first because of its crucial role in elections. “Pennsylvania is an extraordinarily important state,” Kennedy Townsend told The Post. “If we are able to win over Democrat voters we have lost in rural areas for the general-election races in the fall, we can build a great bench not only for the future but as a support system for the presidential election in 2020.”
