Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district is located in the eastern part of the state . The district encompasses Schuylkill County and portions of Carbon, Monroe, Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Northampton counties. Democrat Tim Holden , who had represented Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district since 2003, ran for re-election.[95] 2010 United States census , drew this district to be much more Democratic, taking in parts of Scranton and Wilkes Barre .
Democratic primary
[ edit ]
Holden, a Blue Dog Democrat who had represented a very Republican district for 10 years, was considered vulnerable to a primary challenge due to the bluer hue of the new district. Holden was defeated in the Democratic primary by attorney Matt Cartwright , 57–43. Holden's opposition to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and climate change legislation are believed to have contributed to his defeat by a more liberal opponent.[96]
