Former "Apprentice" Contestant Runs for Congress
Lynn Swann isn't the only celebrity to run for public office in the state of Pennsylvania. Raj Peter Bhakta is running on the Republican ticket against incumbant Allison Schwartz (D) for the state's 13th congressional district seat.
You might ask how a "celebrity" can run for office and stay below the media wire. Well its simple. Bhakta just isn't an organized candidate. He appears to be grasping at straws to find himself and this campaign appears to be one of those attempts.
If he can get a good political mind behind his campaign he could stand a slight chance. The 13th district is not at all solid. The largest victory by a candidate since 2000 has been by 53% of the vote. A Dynamic and organized candidate could make it a race. Unfortunately Bhatka isn't it.
