Profiles in Courage, Congressional Primary Edition

Chris Rabb is in Philly running for the 3rd Congressional District. He is neither the city Democratic Committee’s candidate of choice or Congressman Dwight Evans’. He has campaign with potential 2028 rivals of Governor Shapiro’s and vocal critics of the Governor. For that matter, he has been fairly outspoken about the differences between himself and the Governor. Governor Josh Shapiro has appeared in back rooms to talk to the building trades and others about the threat that Rabb posts for him and the party. Josh Shapiro has refused to pick a horse though and endorse a candidate against Rabb in that primary.

Most of his allies are with Sharif Street in that race, but his own frosty relationship with Street makes him unable to go along. You see, he didn’t want Street to be the State Democratic Party Chairman back in 2022, and he vocally said so, so now he’ll never forgive that. Dwight Evans, the outgoing Congressman, has been a great ally of Shapiro’s. He supports Dr. Ala Stanford. Apparently she isn’t what the Governor is looking for. So instead of picking one, the Governor is giving a pass to a straight out critic of his.

Meanwhile the Governor took the time on the Sunday before the election to come to Allentown, and after cancelling his public event for worries about something, had a private event with Bob Brooks. You know, a candidate who has embarrassed him during this race. This is a man of such low character that we should all be running away from him. This is the guy the Governor wants to use his political capital on the behalf of. A complete deadbeat.

You know what, I’m totally bought in for 2028. Totally and completely.
