In a move that sent shockwaves through Pittsburgh’s Republican circles, Oliver Jones’ bid to represent the city’s Twenty-third Congressional district at the National Convention has been quietly axed, replaced by the relatively unknown Joseph T. Davidson. Sources close to the situation reveal that Davidson’s selection was a carefully orchestrated backroom deal brokered by his friends, Witherow and Oliver, who will now accompany him to the convention. The decision appears to have been made without public fanfare, with insiders claiming that there will be no opposition to Davidson’s election.
