Ryan Costello UPDATE: Fearing for his political life, Paul Ryan pet lashes out at fellow Republican

Quoted in Scott Pruitt admits role in aide’s pay raise but calls attacks on him politically motivated.  (Washington Post, 4/26/2018)


Original 10/23/2017 post, "Paul Ryan-aligned super PAC is out to save the day for Ryan Costello (R-PA)", starts here.

Consistency is the name of the game for the GOP in the PA 6CD.  With little individual variation, Republicans have won the last 4 elections by an average margin of 13.85 percentage points.  Ryan Costello has represented the district since January 2015.

Exclusive: Ryan-aligned group to unleash volunteer army Saturday in early election push.  (USA Today, 10/6/2017)

Republicans are afraid, very afraid.  The Congressional Leadership Fund’s “day of action” in 17 House districts comes more than a year before the 2018 midterm elections. The effort, part of the super PAC’s plan to spend $100 million to influence House races, underscores the high stakes of upcoming House battles and marks an early push by Ryan’s allies to ensure that individual House races do not become a referendum on President Trump and his performance.
