Republicans Rally to Support Chris Carney

Republicans Rally to Support Chris Carney
"A prominent Republican Washington, D.C. lobbyist and former chief of staff for Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Philadelphia will host a $1,000-a-plate breakfast fundraiser for Carney on July 16 in the nation’s capital."

"Carney’s supporters say David Urban’s support shows the bi-partisan centrist nature of Carney. Urban, a partner at the lobbying firm American Continental, is hosting the fundraising breakfast with two of his colleagues. Urban, a registered Republican who grew up outside Pittsburgh and attended law school at Temple University, has a long history of donating to Republicans. Urban said his support of Carney does not reflect the views of his former boss Specter, but his own perspective.

“Over his term I’ve gotten to know Carney … he’s a pretty admirable guy and I think he’s doing great things for Pennsylvania,” he said."
