FLAG ON THE PLAY: Cognetti Campaign's False Start

September 4, 2025

College football kicked off this weekend, but Paige Cognetti's campaign committed a false start penalty on their opening drive. After launching her ill-fated congressional run with an unhinged rant at Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan, Cognetti was quickly slammed by voters across party lines for abandoning Scranton residents as she tries to run for both Mayor and Congress at the same time.

As if the bad press wasn't enough, Cognetti already faces a primary challenger less than three days into her vanity campaign.

"It's been less than 72 hours and west coast liberal Paige Cognetti's campaign is already a disaster. From raising taxes to backing open border policies to supporting higher energy prices, her priorities could not be more out of line with Northeast Pennsylvanians', who will soundly reject her at the ballot box."- NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
