Elections
2010
Kanjorski collected more than $409,000 during the 2010 campaign aimed at retaining his seat against Republican challenger, Lou Barletta, the former mayor of Hazleton. Kanjorski has collected $226,000 of those contributions - 55 percent of the total - from sources outside Pennsylvania. More than $100,000 of his campaign funds came from sources in New York and Washington, D.C.
When looking at contributions only from Pennsylvania sources, Barletta has out-fundraised Kanjorski. Barletta only brought in $28,000 from beyond the state's borders.[3]
On November 2, 2010, Lou Barletta won election to the United States House of Representatives. He defeated Paul E. Kanjorski in the general election.[4]
