PA-12: John Murtha's death requires a replacement for his 12th District seat. The Dem leadership chose a Murtha aide, Mark Critz. Barbara Hafer (D) announced that she was going to primary Critz. But now she is stepping aside, leaving the road clear for Critz on the Dem side.
The most serious Republican candidate is Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. William Russell, who challenged Murtha in 2008.
The special election to replace Murtha will be May 18, 2010, the day of the PA primary election.
