"State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro Tackles Jan. 6 and Abortion Issues in Treasurer Campaign"

Ryan Bizzarro, a Democrat and member of Pennsylvania's House of Representatives, announced his bid for state treasurer by tying his Republican opponent, Stacy Garrity, to controversial issues such as abortion rights and the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. While the role of state treasurer primarily involves managing finances, Bizzarro aims to galvanize voters by highlighting Garrity's past support for abortion restrictions and her appearance at a rally endorsing former President Trump's false claims about election fraud. Down-ballot races in battleground states like Pennsylvania can become highly partisan, even over issues unrelated to the official's duties.
