PA-6 Most Competitive District in Nation
Pennsylvania-6 was recently ranked, far and away, the most competitive congressional district in the entire country over the last four election cycles. A study by the University of Minnesota stated, "With an average victory margin of a scant 2.6 points across four
elections, no other congressional district, let alone no other member
of Congress, has endured four highly competitive elections in a row
since 2002 as has Representative Gerlach."

"A new Smart Politics analysis of 1,740 general election U.S. House contests since 2002 finds that the 6th Congressional District of Pennsylvania is the only district to have been decided by less than 10 points in each election cycle.
In fact, PA-06 has been decided by less than five points in each of these elections - and Republican Jim Gerlach, who has represented the district since 2003, is still standing."
