Madeira set to run in 10th District GOP primary

Madeira set to run in 10th District GOP primary

The Republican primary in the 10th Congressional District is now a three-man race.

David Madeira, a chiropractor in Luzerne County, said Thursday that he was getting into the mix. He’ll make it official Feb. 9 in a series of events across the northeast Pennsylvania District.

“Congressman [Chris] Carney likes to wave his ‘Blue Dog’ credentials,” Madeira said in a statement. “One year ago he voted for a nearly trillion dollar ‘stimulus plan’ that not only brought no stimulus, but saw unemployment jump to over 10 percent. Is this who we want representing us?”

Madeira joins U.S. Attorney Tom Marino and Snyder County Commissioner Malcolm Derk is seeking the party’s nomination to take on the second-term Democrat.

    Its funny how most republicans want to talk bad about the Stimulus Package and credit it to not doing something to decrease unemployment…What would have happened if there was no stimulus package??? Unemployment might have hit 15%!! My dad owns a small audio company and was able to hire back his employees and hire new employees ONLY because of the stimulus package!!!! I understand that people are still losing jobs, but lots of people still have thier jobs due to and only because of the stimulus package!
