This is the first in a series of post on races where a good free-market candidate is taking on the left. Consider it a serious version of Colbert’s “Better Know a District.” The first is Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional district, where Chris Hackett is trying to take back a traditionally conservative seat from Chris Carney who won the seat in 2006 after scandal knocked out the incumbent. From RedState:

The 10th Congressional District is an entrepreneurial district. It has a median income of $35,996.00 and includes the city of Carbondale. Chris Hackett knows the district and, more so than Carney, relates to the district. In an area of Pennsylvania where many of the residents either work for themselves or small businesses, Chris Hackett is also an entrepreneur. Having purchased SHS TechStaffing, a recruiting and temp staffing business, he grew and expanded the company inside the 10th Congressional District and then through Pennsylvania and several other states.

Chris Hackett, unlike his opponent, knows how tax cuts and tax hikes, spending cuts and spending hikes, and regulation and deregulation affect small businesses.

This should certainly be a race to watch.
