Democrat Republican
The District
Spanning 13 counties in northeast
Pennsylvania, the 10th is a generally
Republican district. It includes much of the
Poconos Mountains and the cities of
Williamsport and Carbondale. The area used to
be a center of coal and steel production, but the
industrial economy has declined here. State
Treasurer and 2006 Senate candidate Bob
Casey ran close races against Sherwood here in
1998 and 2000, and Sherwood faced a very
tough primary this year after his scandal
became public: he pulled only 56% of the
Republican vote.
