from the Bibles-and-Meth part of the state
Not very specific, that's like every part outside the metropolitan areas.
I would agree that its a very purple state but surprisingly since I could vote the state has only had one Republican governer in the last 8 terms. And I only found that out by looking it up.
Garrity does not seem to have the political chops to win Pennsylvania Republicans. PA is the purplest of states, but she's from the Bibles-and-Meth part of the state and it really comes through when she speaks out loud into a camera. She won the race as Treasurer because Main Line Republicans want a "fiscal conservative" holding the purse strings, but I'd bet money that 90% of PA republicans have never seen her speak. Raising her profile will hurt her, especially as a Trumplican.
