Wulsin has an impressive record as a physician with a wide range of work, from combating outbreaks of whooping cough as Cincinnati’s epidemiologist to developing a program to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS in Africa. Wulsin has pledged to decrease spending on the Iraq war, ensure Americans have access to adequate health care and balance the budget. Wulsin is narrowly outraising her opponent and could use all our help down the stretch. Cast your vote for Victoria Wulsin now by contributing to her campaign.

Siobhan “Sam” Bennett (Dem) is waging a spirited campaign for Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District. Bennett is facing incumbent Charlie Dent (Rep).
