A Cumberland County man already running for office said Wednesday that he is pivoting to a bigger stage as the shock waves from Eugene DePasquale’s non-candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District continue to wash over through the midstate.

Rick Coplen, a retired Army officer and current Carlisle school board member residing in Dickinson Township, has become the first - but maybe not the last - to give regional Democrats what they wanted most this week: a candidate to challenge incumbent Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County.

“The family meeting to discuss this decision was short and sweet,” Coplen said in announcing the change on his campaign facebook page. “Given our decades of service together in the U.S. Army and our perception of significant future national challenges and opportunities, my wife Lorelei and I quickly agreed: “Duty calls!”

Perry is my congresscritter. I think I will help him out. I’m going print stickers to put on gas pumps to remind folks that Copland is a Democrat.

Meanwhile the ever so brave pseudo-anonymous “Dispatch Editoral Board” loses any sense of objectivity in calling for Perry to be voted out:

“Perry, as history has shown, is quite resilient — like a barnacle clinging to the hull of democracy.”

No one reads these failing rags. PennLive was once a twice per day print publication. If they only knew their customers, but I don't think they are business to make money. They are a bunch of commie POS.

This is why I refuse to donate and subsidize the Democrat propaganda machines referred to as MSM. Everyone of them works to shutdown freedom and free speech. They have already eliminated the direct commenting ability of the public and replaced it with a voice only from the controlled biased media machines.
