Northeast PA GOP Congressional Candidate Airs Campaign Ad In Portland, Oregon

Jim Bognet is running for Congress against the incumbent, Matt Cartwright, in Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District. PA-8 can best be described as the state’s most far northeastern congressional district.

On August 5, PoliticsPA reported that Bognet (along with Lisa Scheller who is running in the adjoining 7th Congressional District against Susan Wild) “have now reached the highest level of the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Gun program. “

Cartwright won his congressional seat in 2018 by 9.2%, but in 2016 Donald Trump won (what became the 8th Congressional District) by 9.3%.

Through his design firm, he worked across an unusually wide range of industries—transportation, consumer products, branding, and architecture—often simultaneously. No one in history is more closely associated with […]
