Montgomery County Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi is reporting that the Pennsylvania House Republican Campaign Committee is refusing to support Tea Party-supported Dr. John McGinnis in his quest to represent the 79th District in the State House.
The district is in Blair County.
McGinnis beat long-term GOP incumbent Richard Geist, who had represented the district since 1979, in the primary angering the establishment.
McGinnis has a doctorate degree in finance.
