Ryan Crosswell’s campaign for a U.S. House seat features the hallmarks of many traditional political operations.
His website shows him in shirtsleeves talking about his military service and growing up in a coal town. His campaign video features images of the nearby Pennsylvania community of Pottsville, festooned in red, white and blue bunting. His campaign advisers circulate copies of a political advocacy group’s endorsement. Crosswell talks about knocking on doors and meeting voters, one of whom Crosswell said is “struggling and may need to sell her house.”
