Cartwright under attack...




Only seven weeks into his third term representing the 17th Congressional District, U.S. Democratic Rep. Matt Cartwright is on the radar of Republicans outside of the region who want to expand their party’s 45-vote House majority by ousting him from office. 

The American Action Network, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative nonprofit “social welfare” group, bought local television commercials that criticized Cartwright for supporting the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. 

Two weeks ago, the National Republican Congressional Committee, which helps elect Republicans to the House, announced the names of 36 Democratic House members it hopes to unseat in the 2018 federal elections. Only one Pennsylvania lawmaker is on its list: Cartwright.

 NRCC spokesman Jesse Hunt said he expects the group to actively recruit challengers to Cartwright as Republicans see weakness in Cartwright’s election numbers.
