Let's talk about Christina Hartman, the Democratic establishment's newly-annointed candidate in Pennsylvania's 10th district! 
Some of you may remember Christina as @jessforcongress's primary opponent in the former PA-16. Hartman ran for the open seat in 2016 and lost to Republican Lloyd Smucker 51-44. She underperformed Clinton by four points!
Despite Lancaster's resounding verdict of "meh" in 2016, the Democratic party was eager to run Hartman again this year. But then redistricting happened! The new PA-11 was no longer as easy a route to Congress. And Hartman was facing a primary loss to @jessforcongress
So last week, Hartman pulled up her deep Lancaster roots and moved them about 80 miles to the northwest, and declared her candidacy in PA-10. Despite having no connection to the district, she's seen as the frontrunner given her $200,000 campaign chest.
The thing is, there's already plenty of great candidates running in that district. They were off the radar before redistricting because it seemed like safe seat. But the newly redrawn PA-10 is ripe for pickup, which is why it attracted a vulture like Hartman.
Meanwhile, Shavonnia Corbin-Johnson has been running an energetic, grass-roots campaign in PA-10 on almost no money. She is a phenomenon—a York native who grew up in foster care, and by age 25 was serving as assistant director in Obama's Office of Management and Budget
When Hartman abruptly moved her campaign to the district last week, she called up Shavonnia and... offered her a job.
I think the people of PA-10 deserve better than to be assigned an establishment candidate who already lost one election, and quit another when the going got tough. So it is my great privilege to add Shavonnia Corbin-Johnson as the ninth candidate on the Great Slate! 🎉🎊
The good news is, when you have a phenomenal candidate like Shavonnia without enough money, you just have to give them the money. We did it for @jessforcongress, and now let's do it for @SCJ4PA!
Even if you've given before to the Great Slate, please take a moment to donate now (you can edit how the money is split between candidates) to give Shavonnia fuel for her grassroots operation, and the voters of PA-10 a meaningful choice in the primary. secure.actblue.com/donate/great_s…
According to FEC filings, Shavonnia has raised $23K, compared to Hartman's $219K cash on hand. Let's rectify that and let the voters, not the DCCC, decide which candidate is right for central Pennsylvania! Please spread the word! secure.actblue.com/donate/great_s…
And let me say a word for @jessforcongress, who unlike her rival Hartman decided to stay and fight in Lancaster despite a tougher electoral map. Many of you met Jess and know just what a talent she is, and what ability she brings to this campaign. Smucker is toast!
I have to quote-tweet myself here because Twitter threading is so broken
