A 'mysterious' PAC has waded into a Democratic primary in the Philly suburbs. Officials are calling its most recent ad a
Mailers decried by a bipartisan coalition of Pennsylvania officials as antisemitic have been circulating to voters just days ahead of a competitive Democratic primary for a state Senate district in suburban Philadelphia.
The Protecting Our Democracy PAC, which received $25,000 from a pro-skill games PAC and is chaired by the owner of Capital Vending, a supplier of coin-operated games in Pennsylvania, sent out at least three different mailers in recent weeks targeting Bradley Merkl-Gump, a teacher and Pennridge School Board member who is facing Lehigh County Controller Mark Pinsley in Tuesday’s 16th District Democratic primary.
The winner will face Republican incumbent State Sen. Jarrett Coleman in November as Democrats contend to flip the state Senate blue.
In an earlier mailer, the PAC, which was formed last month, described Merkl-Gump as a “Party Boss Puppet,” referring to a straw poll Bucks County Democrats held earlier this year, which Merkl-Gump won.
But a new ad getting more attention calls the Pennridge School Board member the “hand-picked candidate of the corporate, Israel-first Democratic party boss and insiders.”
