DeWeese camp excited by early results

By Alex Roarty, PolitickerPA.com Reporter

WAYNESBURG -- Preliminary early voting results in the 50th Legislative District show House Majority Leader Bill DeWeese winning several precincts he lost in 2006, including some areas of Waynesburg, a population center in the district.

He faces Republican Greg Hopkins in a rematch of a 2006 contest he won by little more than a 1,000 votes.

DeWeese supporters gathered at this election night headquarters are overwhelmingly positive about his chances tonight.
