The other day I wrote that 15th District Democratic candidate Rick Daugherty opposes marriage equality.
Commenter Joshua Buck points out that I got it wrong. Daugherty changed his position, and no longer supports leaving this issue to the states. From the comments:
Daugherty also was never opposed to marriage equality he like dent thought that the states should be allowed to decide. After an in depth conversation with Adrian Shanker from Equality PA and personal reflection daugherty came out in support of marriage equality as you can plainly see from this morning call article.

and I quote
“Dent’s Democratic challenger, Rick Daugherty, said that he supports “marriage equality” and views it as a “basic American freedom” much like the right to affordable health care.
“We should repeal the Defense of Marriage Act,” he said. “And if I’m elected to Congress, I would certainly co-sponsor repealing it.”
Doesn’t get much clearer than that. I apologize to Rick Daugherty and KP readers for the error.
A sincere thank you.
