Will Petrella earn Senate nod tonight?
By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com ReporterThe Beaver County Democratic Committee executive board might decide Thursday night whether Jason Petrella will be its candidate in the 47th Senatorial District.
Chances look better for Petrella after unanimously receiving the support of the Lawrence County Democratic Committee executive board, according to The Beaver County Times.
Petrella is trying to replace state Rep. Sean Ramaley (D-Beaver County), who was forced to step down from his campaign after being charged in July of misusing taxpayer money as part of "Bonusgate."
Although the county committee's by-laws prohibit challenges against endorsed candidates, which Petrella did when he faced Ramaley in the primary this spring, the county party chairman has indicated Petrella should run.
