Rep. Ryan Costello Will Skip GOP Convention
PENNSYLVANIA — Donald Trump has spent years spouting hateful rhetoric and dangerous policies that will do serious harm to working families and put America’s security at risk. As Trump doubles down on his divisive rhetoric, some Pennsylvania Republicans, like Tom Ridge, continue to condemn and reject his candidacy. Others, like Pat Toomey, aggressively avoid questions about supporting or condemning Trump altogether.
Congressman Ryan Costello (PA-6) has now joined the list of Republicans and conservatives who will be skipping the GOP Convention. Costello is joining more Republicans to distance himself from the party’s standard bearer. Will other members of Congress join him?

It’s time to add freshman Congressman Ryan Costello to that list.
