Fattah’s foe says it’s time for real change
Northeast Times - 10/29/2008
Adam Lang believes his opponent, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah, is taking the race for granted.
Fattah (D-2nd dist.), first elected in 1994, represents an overwhelmingly Democratic district.
The district includes portions of North, South and West Philadelphia and the neighborhoods of Lawndale, Northwood and Frankford.
The congressman did not dispute his Republican opponent’s assertion that his focus is elsewhere. He acknowledged spending "one-hundred percent of my time" helping Barack Obama win the presidency.
