Lou Barletta Is Running For Congress

Carl Andrews | December 29, 2009 

The Republican mayor of  Hazleton Pennsylvania, Lou Barletta recently announced that he will once again run for Congress.

Barletta is seeking to defeat long-time incumbent Paul Kanjorski for a seat representing Pennsylvania’s 11th Congressional District.

This will be Barletta’s third attempt to unseat Kanjorski, he made previous runs for the office in 2002 and 2008.

Some political insiders feel that the reason Barletta lost in 2002 was due primarily to a re-districting which took place shortly before the election, moving a county that was a Democrat stronghold from the 10th Congressional district and making it part of the 11th.

And still others feel that the only reason his 2008 bid failed was due to the fact that in the areas where he did not receive the majority of the votes, those areas voted a straight-party ticket, and Kanjorski won by riding on Barack Obama’s coat tails.
