Schwartz Won't Back Her Backfill

She is looking ahead, not behind. She plans to leave her democratic district to vye for Pennsylvania governor. After filing all the appropriate paper work last week, there's not much holding her back.

U.S. Rep. Alyson Scwhartz (D-13) has publicly announced her intent to run for governor in 2014. But, according to her campaign spokeswoman, she won't be spending much time dwelling on the Distirct 13 race.

"Her gubernatorial campaign spokeswoman Reesa Kossoff says Schwartz has no intention of endorsing in the race," said an article on PoliticsPA.com. 

Kossoff said Schwartz does not intend to back any candidate.

“Allyson has many good friends in the race. As the current member representing the district, and having represented it for now for five terms, it’s important to her that the next representative be a strong advocate on behalf of Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County,” Kossoff told PoliticsPA. “She has no plans to endorse, and wishes all the candidates well.”
