The Democratic Party's Identity Crisis The primary election in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District has brought into sharp focus the internal debates within the Democratic Party about its identity and direction.
Two candidates, Bob Brooks and Ryan Crosswell, are vying for the party's nomination, each representing a different vision of what it means to be a Democrat.
Brooks' message is one of authenticity and connection with working class voters. He presents himself as an "everyman" who has spent his life working hard and fighting for the little guy.
