Dave Battaglia wins big in Armstrong County Commissioners race

Samantha and I were thrilled to be sharing in the celebration when Dave received the phone calling telling him he was the top vote-getter on the Republican ticket.  Coroner Bob Bower came in second, unseating both of the incumbents -- Jim Scahill with 20 years in office and Patty Kirkpatrick with 8.   News reports attributed the sweep to an anti-incumbent mood in the county; however, I feel certain that Dave won because of his pro-business stance and his belief that a county should be run as a business and expected to be productive.  For his hopes to see business and population growth returning, it's going to be important that conservatives get out to vote in November and keep Republican control in the County Commissioner's offices!  To follow Dave's campaign to victory in November, click here!
