Peters Township Democrat Tom Kovach

The seat in the congress is held by Tim Murphy, R. Every two years there is an election for these seats. Next up, 2006.

Kovach, a loss control engineer for an insurance company, a Navy veteran with a Masters degree from Pitt's GSPIA School, once ran for state House against Republican state Rep. John Maher, and he is mounting a grassroots, issues campaign (www.kovachforcongress.com). Taking a page out of Santorum's book, Kovach is already door-knocking in this three-county district.

Thanks for the pointer to Jon Delano, and his PSF email.
