Three seek Lescovitz's open House seat in 2006

Two lawyers, two Pauls, two repeat candidates and two 20-somethings are running in the 46th Legislative District primary. And with Rep. Victor J. Lescovitz, D-Midway, not seeking re-election, it adds up to an open race for the three candidates.Lawyers Jesse White, 27, and Paul Walsh, 42, are seeking the Democratic nomination. Republican political consultant Paul Snatchko, 29, faces no foe.Aside from the superficial similarities, there is room to distinguish the candidates. Mr. White, who is making a second run for the seat, said he hoped to avoid fluff and political gamesmanship, such as who placed whose sign in whose yard.

"I am putting myself out there to let people know where I stand. I hope voters see through the circus to the substance," said Mr. White, a former Cecil supervisor.Mr. White became entangled in a bit of a circus himself in 2004 when he sued Cody R. Knotts, Weekly Recorder publisher, for defamation and libel. One of Mr. White's campaign signs was set afire, and afterward, he charged, a newspaper column about the event indicated he committed arson.
