I’m In. It’s time to take back Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District from Pelosi’s lapdog Matt Cartwright!

Shelves are empty. Borders are open. Fraud is rampant.

Bognet labeled Matt Cartwright as a “big government trial attorney” and a “lapdog of California liberal Nancy Pelosi".” In 2020, Cartwright defeated Bognet by a slim margin of 178,004 votes to 165,783. Jim Bognet was up by 10,000 votes on election night in 2020.

Matt Cartwright is one of four Democrats in Pennsylvania targeted by the NRCC.

Jim Bognet is widely considered to be the front-runner for the GOP nomination with the inside track to receive support from President Donald J Trump. The former President endorsed Bognet during the 2020 election.
