If Birmelin was to run, he'd easily defeat the candidates that have been mentioned so far. One is a novice from Susquehanna County that would be trashed in a general election and one is Greg Skrepanek, a former NFL lineman and Luzerne County Commissioner. He'd make it a race and give the Democrats a good candidate, but the parts of Luzerne County in PA-10 are conservative rural and rich suburban areas where Birmelin would do well. All this is rather unlikely as I am fairly certain Sherwood will run next year.
