Congressman Tim Holden not only has his first opposition on a Democratic ballot, but also must introduce himself to a realigned district and win over new voters in the coming primary election next Tuesday, April 24.
Holden, of Saint Clair, is completing 20 years as the representative of the 17th Congressional District and this year is being challenged in the Primary Election by attorney Matthew A. Cartwright, of Plains, Luzerne County, for the Democratic Party nomination to represent the people of the 17th Congressional District.
