Hazleton mayor Lou Barletta, the Republican candidate in the 11th Congressional District, was named Pennsylvania's Mayor of the Year this weekend.
Barletta, who is running a heated race against U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Nanticoke City), was given the award Saturday by the Pennsylvania State Mayors Association, The Associated Press reports.
Because of his high-profile crackdown on illegal immigration as mayor, Barletta has drawn support from conservatives nationwide.
