Mike Fitzpatrick wonders whether voters really knew him.

It is an unsurprising reflection, given that the departing Bucks County representative lost his seat by a minuscule margin to a young Democrat who has never held a public office.

A month after the painful loss, Fitzpatrick, 43, of Levittown, concluded that he hadn't spent enough time and money telling voters about the 10 bills he introduced as a freshman congressman, or the 10 years of achievements he racked up as a Bucks County commissioner.

"Seven of my bills became law," he said as he prepared to leave office last week. "I don't think voters in this district know that."

Fitzpatrick may get another chance to remind them.

One way or another, this is going to be a hot button race. But if Fitzpatrick wasn't known by voters going into this election, what makes him think a rematch would be any better.
