“This independent poll reflects what we hear from Republican, Democratic, and Independent voters every day,” said Carney campaign manager Andrew Eldredge-Martin. “The more voters learn about Don Sherwood’s record, the more they recognize that he has not represented our values in Washington. Chris Carney will make us proud.”
