JADE CAMPOS | Staff Writer Democrat Brad Chambers has garnered national attention in his second attempt to unseat Brett Miller, the six-term Republican incumbent representing Pennsylvania’s 41st House District. Chambers, a labor administrator from Columbia, picked up an endorsement from Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the spring and got a nod from national party leaders who labeled the legislative race a “target” because of high hopes the seat would turn blue. The 35-year-old has also secured campaign donations from across the country, including a $1,500 contribution from the CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Thomas Rothman. As of Oct. 19, Chambers had raised more than three times as much money as Miller.
