Personally, I think the Dems had better options for a candidate, but it was the local Dem committee's choice. Lamb kind of parachuted into the race after Murphy resigned and the primary election had to be scuttled due to timing leaving the choice of candidates to each party's officials. Lamb's uncle, iirc, Michael Lamb, is Pgh's prothonatory and is well-known in the area.

Saccone was the most rw of the GOP contenders.
