Susan Wild and Ryan Mackenzie are employing dueling strategies to try to tie each other to unpopular national figures and causes in the final days of the race to represent Pennsylvania's 7th District.
That intensity can be felt across the Lehigh Valley, where political signs seemingly dot every lawn and where the election dominates so much of everyday life, from television to billboards to signs hanging in businesses.

He’s already served. He has a record to speak on.
