Pennsylvania: Pa-18

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

Altmire: 'I have a record to run on now.'

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

MONACA -- U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire (D-McCandless) told PolitickerPA.com in an interview after Wednesday night's town hall meeting he thinks his voting record, which he said is about 50 percent Democratic, proves his political philosophy matches the mostly centrist 4th Congressional District, which covers an area from the northern Pittsburgh suburbs to Mercer County.
