Our state representative runs as both Democrat and Republican. As long as 
I've lived here (12 years) he's run on both tickets and unopposed. Needless 
to say, he always wins. I like him; I don't know if he does any good in 
Harrisburg, but he's very accessible and shows up at every event in the 
county.
