Kats says GOP support has picked up

A month after telling PolitickerPA.com that local Republicans weren't doing enough for her Congressional bid, Marina Kats says that GOP support for her campaign is on the rise.

Kats, who is running against U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Abington) in the 13th Congressional District, told The Intelligencer that ever since the PolitickerPA.com report, help from local GOP circles has been more reliable.

"I don't know if it's a coincidence," Kats said, "but I did get better support. It has helped."

Whether that support will make a difference against the well-funded Schwartz, especially in a year when most state Republicans are focused on more competitive races, remains to be seen.
