Josh Schoenberg is Raking It In
A month ago, Josh Schoenberg threw his hat in the ring to challenge Republican House incumbent Greg Lavelle. In that short period of time, Josh has had exactly zero fundraisers. Instead, he has been calling people and asking for their support by day, and knocking on doors by night. Today, he posted his 30-Day campaign […]
