Dan Wofford is a Democrat from the state of Pennsylvania. He lost a close congressional race in the 6th district to Jim Gerlach in 2002. Wofford is the son of Pennsylvania senator Harris Wofford. He worked in the governor's office and later directed the College Access Program, which helped low-income Philadelphia students prepare for college. In the 2002 congressional elections, Wofford was the Democratic nominee for the 6th US House district in Pennsylvania, a district gerrymandered with the goal of electing Republican State Senator Jim Gerlach. His campaign website was given "The Candidate Vanity Award" by the political website PoliticsPA for its large photo of Wofford. The district was more competitive than voter registration numbers suggested, and the election was close: Wofford lost 51%-49%. In 2008, Wofford was a delegate for Pennsylvania to the Democratic National Convention. He voted for Democratic nominee Barack Obama. Wofford graduated with a law degree from Georgetown University in 1983. He has a b.a. from Yale (history, 1977). He was the captain of the soccer team and an All-Pennsylvania lacrosse player at Harriton High School in Rosemont, Pa. == References == * (CNN.com Election 2002 - State Races: Pennsylvania ).
