State Rep To Switch Parties, Break Barrier
Written by Mark Harris on January 25th, 2005
For those of you not from Pittsburgh, I can not overstate how big of a deal the coming switch in party registration for Michael Diven. He is a conservative Democrat scoring substancially higher than many Republicans in the Commonwealth Foundation ratings, who has built a strong base in his district.
If he switches it will give the GOP the first chance to win a State Senate seat encompassing part of Pittsburgh in several decades (72 since the last Republican ciy councilman) and would give the GOP the base it needs to begin making inroads. If this happens as all signs point to, then things are looking up for the Pittsburgh GOP for the first time in a half of a century.
