Meuser’s Congressional Run Ends with Pennsylvania Primary

EXETER, Pa.–Dan Meuser, president of Pride Mobility Products,
lost his bid for the Republican nomination in Pennsylvania’s 10th
Congressional District in the state’s April 22 primary.

Meuser, who ran on his record of successful business experience
and economic conservatism, lost to businessman Chris Hackett in a
tightly contested race, with both candidates spending heavily,
according to press reports. The final tally showed a 52 percent to
48 percent win for Hackett, who will face incumbent Democrat Rep.
Chris Carney in November.

After announcing his congressional run at Medtrade in October,
Meuser took a formal leave of absence from the company he helped
build to begin a full-time campaign. Last week, a Pride
spokesperson confirmed Meuser would extend that leave “for a
few more months.”

Meuser joined Pride more than 20 years ago to work alongside his
father and brother Scott Meuser, the company’s chairman and CEO,
and during his career became a vocal advocate for HME, particularly
regarding power mobility issues.

In 2006, Meuser was a recipient of HomeCare magazine’s
HomeCaring Award in recognition of distinguished service to the
home medical equipment industry. (See HomeCare, January 2007.)
