Apparently she won Allegheny County by 40%. Idiots 
She's more familiar to us Yinzers than someone from Erie. Keep in mind, races like these that have next to zero advertising are going to hinge on voter name recognition.
Not really. She won because people saw "Allegheny County" beneath her name. That's it. If they know her name at all it's because she's now lost multiple times for a variety of different random offices. Doesn't exactly scream "prime Treasurer material" does it?
I echo what somebody else said in the thread - why on earth does PA list each candidate's county? Just to show off the fact that 90% of voters walk into the booth not even knowing what offices are on the ballot that year and picking their favorite county is the only way they feel some semblance of control?
This was a great chance to unseat brain-dead Garrity with one of the best local Democrats in the state. Now it is probably lean R.
