Moser <\/p>\n
It's not really a race if there's only one person in it. <\/p>\n
That's why Libertarian David Moser collected the 300 signatures he needed by Wednesday to run against Eugene DePasquale in the 95th House District. <\/p>\n
\"It's all about the options, really,\" Moser said. <\/p>\n
Moser, 34, said he takes no real issue with DePasquale's performance as a state representative. Rather, he just wanted to give York City residents an option come November, particularly one that he believes will listen to Republicans and Democrats because \"I get to be the common ground.\" <\/p>\n
DePasquale was running unopposed in the 95th, but he is also the Democratic nominee for state auditor general. Republican Kyle King, who works in the district attorney's office, had announced his intention to challenge DePasquale in January but bowed out a few weeks later after being told his candidacy was a violation of the federal Hatch Act. <\/p>\n
DePasquale has said he'll leave the 95th position if he wins auditor general and the 95th. A special election would have to take place in that event for the 95th. Moser acknowledged he'd have to start from scratch just like any other candidate at that point. But he's hoping the extra name recognition from being in the public eye this year will help. <\/p>\n
Or, Moser said, people could vote for DePasquale for auditor general and Moser for the 95th, which would avoid the need for the special election cost to taxpayers and having the position vacant for a matter of months. <\/p>\n
\"Everybody gets what they want,\" Moser said. <\/p>\n
DePasquale welcomed Moser to the now two-man race and said his legislative record shows he supports making it easier for people to get on the ballot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
