Jason Petrella has officially replaced Sean Ramaley as the Democratic nominee in the state senated district 47.

State Democratic Party executive committee members Wednesday picked political newcomer Jason Petrella to replace Rep. Sean Ramaley as the party’s state Senate candidate over Beaver County Commissioner Joe Spanik.

Abe Amoros, a state Democratic Party spokesman, said Petrella received 26 votes, the minimum number needed to win the nomination of the 50-member executive committee. Amoros said officials stopped counting once Petrella got enough votes, and he said the party would not reveal how many votes Spanik received.

State Committee should be ashamed of itself. Nothing but a rubber stamp. Senate Ds will be pointing fingers at everybody but themselves when this seat goes Republican in November. Their candidate isn’t even a Democrat.

Let's face it

Let’s face facts, liberal Dems are few and far between here. Most all Dems running here could comfortably pass for Republicans.
