Army Ranger veteran Sean Parnell shared a photo Sunday of his garage door and driveway, saying that vandals struck overnight.
“My house was vandalized last night by cowards under the cover of darkness,” Parnell tweeted along with the photo. “This is what is at stake in this election. We all must fight for our country and we must do it NOW. I will not cower. I will not back down. I will always fight for this nation.”
Parnell, who is in the final days of his campaign as a Republican candidate in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District, is backed by President Donald Trump and faces a tight race against incumbent Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb.
Lamb won a contentious special election in 2018 — by about 600 votes — after former Republican Rep. Tim Murphy resigned in 2017. He then handily won the 2018 general election against Republican Keith Rothfus.
