Kanjorski camp: ‘Barletta is looking for strike three and you’re out’

Congressman Paul Kanjorski’s (D-11) campaign was quick to react Wednesday to Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta’s announcement that he will again run in the 11th District, pointing out that the voters had already twice rejected Barletta and that Kanjorski is spending his time doing the people’s work in Washington.

“Hearing that Mr. Barletta is running for Congress again reminds me of what Yogi Berra said,” Kanjorski campaign spokesman Ed Mitchell said in a statement. “‘This is like deja vu all over again.’”

Mitchell added: “Having been rejected by the voters twice, I guess Barletta is looking for strike three and you’re out. The Congressman is busy reforming the financial industry, bringing jobs to the district and providing for affordable health care that protects Medicare. He also remains a champion for preserving Social Security, so we have no further comment at this time.”
