Democrat outraises Republican in final stretch of Pa. special electionDemocrat Conor Lamb holds a significant financial advantage over Republican Rick Saccone heading into the final stretch of the special election in Pennsylvania's 18th District. According to FEC filings posted Thursday, Lamb dramatically outraised Saccone from January 1 through February 21, the final complete filing period before the special election, which is set for March 13. Pence says everything at stake in Pa. electionVice President Mike Pence says Tuesday’s special election in a western Pennsylvania House district is “about a whole lot more than the two candidates” on the ballot. Pence is looking to drive Republican turnout to boost Saccone, who has struggled in a district President Donald Trump won by about 20 percentage points. The Pennsylvania congressional candidate wants voters who haven’t cast ballots yet in Tuesday’s special election to know he’d go to Washington to have the president’s back.
