JAY RUSSELL IN THE RACE

"The battle for the 8th Congressional District seat is now a four-man race.
On Friday, Jay Russell, a farmer from Northampton Township, filed paperwork with the state to run for Congress this year as a Constitution Party candidate.
Russell, 47, joins the race with Congressman Patrick Murphy, a freshman Democrat in his first re-election campaign, Tom Manion, a Republican from Doylestown Township, and Tom Lingenfelter, a political activist from Doylestown who is running an independent campaign for Congress.
Monday, Russell said he knew he had little chance to win in November."
