Meet Sam Bennett

"I am running because the Lehigh Valley can do better. It's time we had a Congressperson who votes with their conscience...And my conscience would not allow me to vote to continue this war...to take support away from senior citizens...to cut funding for children's healthcare - because we, as a country, have a responsibility to look out for each other."

- Sam Bennett, Democratic candidate for the 15th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley.

Learn More about Sam Bennett Here.

Karl Rove said that the 15th district is one of the most vulnerable in the country.

· The 15th is one of only 7 in the country that voted for both Gore and Kerry that is still represented by a Republican Member of Congress.
· It has 12,000 more registered Democrats than registered Republicans.

· New registration is continuing to trend Democratic -- in the last presidential cycle there were 10,000 new Democratic registrations, and only 1,000 new Republicans.

· Against a write in candidate in 2006, Dent outspent his opponent 14:1 ($1.4 million vs. $60,000), but only won re-election with 53% of the vote.

· Congressman Dent is simply out of step with his constituents on the war in Iraq, Medicare and Medicaid policy, the environment, and most of the other issues that really matter to Lehigh Valley residents.
