13th Congressional district

Prior to the 2001 reapportionment, Republican voters had the edge in 13th Congressional district registration. The changes eliminated some Democratic voting strength areas in Montgomery and added much of NE Philadelphia. Montgomery's central Congressional district henceforth only served 46% of its population. Although this decreased the Republican registration edge, Joe Hoeffel had never served any of the city before and found himself drawn into the same district as Congressman Robert Borski, who opted to retire. Republican nominee Melissa Brown campaigned aggressively in the new city portion and came surprisingly close there, but lost to Hoeffel since he carried both county portions and maintained enough Montgomery Republican voter support. In 2004, Democratic voters claimed the registration edge in the 13th.

POV

The selection of "key votes" is arbitrary and reeks of POV. Hekerui (talk) 20:55, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can the Congressional record section be removed? The most recent is over 4 years ago.--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm removing it because it's very old and there wasn't and isn't any discussion on it. The External links provide plenty of historical and current information on specific votes. Flatterworld (talk) 16:55, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BLP issues

Hi all. Ok, while I've no dog in this fight, I have been asked to look into this article as complaints were made. Please remember that if you wish to add contentious material to a biographical article relating to a living person, you must ensure that you have provided reliable sources to support your assertion. This is vital, as making unsourced statements about a person can be quite damaging indeed. They may be true, they may be false, but we must have some reliable, acceptable reference from somewhere to support this. Otherwise, it has to go - Alison ^❤ 23:48, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CHIP

I noticed that CHiP is noticeably absent from the work that Allyson has done to co-sponsor the original bill for CHiP that was instituted in 1992, BEFORE Kennedy or Clinton stuck their fingers in the pie and claimed credit for this program. Could someone please make corrections? thank you

http://www.chipcoverspakids.com/about-chip/a-brief-history-of-chip/

"A Brief History of CHIP

On December 2, 1992, former Governor Robert P. Casey signed into law House Bill 20 (HB 20), better known as the Children's Health Insurance Act. Legislation initially was sponsored by Representative Allen G. Kukovich (D) in the House, and Senator Allyson D. Schwartz (D) in the Senate.

HB 20 created the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a one of a kind program designed to provide insurance coverage to children whose families earn too much to qualify for Medical Assistance, but who could not afford to purchase private insurance. Pennsylvania's CHIP program would later be used as the model for the federal government's SCHIP program. Legislation for the federal CHIP program was signed into law August 5, 1997 by former President Bill Clinton." 69.249.125.97 (talk) 17:51, 6 July 2016 (UTC)BrattySoul[reply]
