It is no secret that runs for something everything candidates on both side of aisle are individuals I find ridiculous. Usually in Chester County they are Republicans but this year it’s Erica Deuso out of Downingtown. A Democrat.
The 2023 article always amused me because it said (and I quote):
📌A Downingtown resident making her first foray in elective politics in Chester County is hoping to accomplish two challenging goals in the 2024 race for the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives.📌
But it wasn’t her first foray since she ran for Downingtown Borough Council unless a magic mulligan decreed it not to be trying to run for elected office?
So now she is running for mayor? Well good for her except is it just making her a runs for something / anything / everything candidate?
I still have no horse in this race. Downingtown has some unpleasant politics rather regularly, and I haven’t paid attention to the mayoral race since Josh Maxwell was Mayor. I started paying attention then because I respected a younger guy stepping up for his community, which he now does on a county level.
But this race I heard was getting interesting and well I figured it out. SOMEONE put up a FAKE website MISrepresenting Rich Bryant.
So why is Erica Deuso sharing screenshots of a fake website that was taken down because it was fake??
Erica, Erica, Erica. Is this like desperate is as desperate does? Shame on you. You want people to think you are the better candidate? Then be better.
A postscript to all of this are first a handful of screenshots from the defunct website:
Next is a little more unpleasant in my humble opinion. Screenshots of his Twitter feed. This is where this candidate probably now loses me. Why put this on Twitter or X? And why didn’t he clean this up before he announced his candidacy for Downingtown Mayor?
I am glad I do not have to decide between these two candidates. And it’s sad because when I first heard Rich Bryant interviewed a few months ago he seemed like just a regular guy and very pleasant. He seemed real. And I’m not saying he can’t have his First Amendment rights to post however he chooses, but the message in the postings is not pleasant.
Well, we shall see what happens with this race. It ought to be interesting and I think it’s going to get dirtier and uglier before November.
Remember back in the spring when the Chesco Dems were acting like it was a bad Phoenixville Country Club board meeting? Shall we consider that it is still that way?
So I have been thinking about this again. What does it mean to be a Democrat in Chester County if they attack you for being independent minded? Doesn’t that make them everything they said they wouldn’t be when they took majority in Chester County?
I point you back to JudgeGate from the spring 2023 primaries…
So in addition, a few months ago all of a sudden this new to me Chesco Dem was following me and leaving super too friendly too soon comments on Twitter. So I kept an eye peeled. I thought to myself then hmmm she wants something or is planning on running for something. And she is indeed now running for State Rep. She is a Democrat. She has had headshots out there for a few months and then there are her Twitter handles and her friends were announcing on message boards months ago that she is running for State Rep. That would put her in Legislative District 155, or Danielle Friel Otten’s district. Oh and recently taking pot shots at Otten as well. Hope Deuso knows Taylor Swift’s song Karma? (Just sayin’)
Grandma Charlotte says she doesn’t let incumbents get primaried yet…. Isn’t it really liar -liar -pants -on -fire- Charlotte-Valyo which is why she needs to go go go?
Deuso wants to be a trendy kind of candidate vs a woman of substance who has earned her spot, and she couldn’t even make it to Borough Council in Downingtown so why does she think Otten’s seat should be hers?
Deuso also seems to have the run for something /anything disease like Republican David Sommers and talks sound bytes on social media and this is who oh Grandma please thinks is better than Danielle Friel Otten? I would ask if this was a joke, but the joke is Grandma Charlotte and her flying monkeys do this every time election season is nigh don’t they?
Now Deuso, who has also been made over and groomed a bit since her unsuccessful 2015 race, is also part of those Mid ChesCo Democrats which contain the filing 5 who were part and parcel of JudgeGate spring 2023, correct?
So the filing five 12 year old Kieran was out shilling for Deuso on Giving Tuesday and that Rachel who is also a Mid ChesCo Dems and of the filing 5 is Deuso’s campaign manager? And Kieran was seen swanning about recently in Harrisburg with Grandma Charlotte? As the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live would say, isn’t that special?
Do you believe in political coincidence? I do not.
Now while Charlotte Valyo and her flying monkeys have been flying around places like Harrisburg do they seriously think no one is paying attention?
However larger questions include asking Pennsylvania House Democrats and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party if they are really falling for Grandma Charlotte’s schtick ?
The flying monkeys are running their mouths at Grandmas’s behest talking smack about Rep. Danielle Friel Otten and Grandma Charlotte wants us to believe she supports all Democrats and doesn’t want incumbents primaried yet like magic she is seeing that Otten is primaried…yet again? Will there be a platform again for what was it ? Running CBD oil through pipelines?
We’ve got your number Charlotte and it’s time for you to go….
And the thing about Danielle Otten is she works equally for ALL of her constituents. That is why she is so loved. And good at her job. I have written about Danielle many times before because she is the real deal.
I am all for women making history, but for the right reasons. And I am sick and tired of the current woman leading the Chester County Democratic Committee and her version of “leadership” which is no better than consistently being a petty bitch who is terrified of anyone independent, especially other women. And Grandma Charlotte and her flying monkeys don’t seem to get that the reason Democrats in Chester County held onto their somewhat slim majority and county row for the 2023 elections wasn’t the quality of candidates and campaigning, but because of the various and assorted extremism groups who were trying to mess with our elections and school districts – people correctly didn’t want to let them in, so they voted blue not red. But they didn’t vote blue again because the candidates were all so fabulous.
Anyway, here we are at the end of 2023. And Charlotte Valyo is still undermining Democratic women in Chester County unless you are part of her flying monkey squad and hey now it’s not high school student council or the middle school popular girl lunch tables, so why are Chester County Democrats as a whole tolerating this? Aren’t we worth more as voters? Or does party leadership in fact not give a good god damn about what we may think? I think the Chester County Democratic Committee should not be run like Phoenixville Country Club.
Democrats in Chester County deserve better. We deserve open primaries without meddling behind the proverbial curtain and the flying monkey squad. I don’t know about you all but I tire of Grandma Charlotte’s reindeer games and country club mentality.
And in case you were wondering, even if I can’t vote for her, I am still #TeamDanielle because I believe in people who get into public service for the right reasons.
Also important to note is I am not saying Deuso shouldn’t run for elected office. And I am waiting for the daggers to come out from the flying monkey squad (because one thing you can count on from Grandma Charlotte is she doesn’t ever do her own work) that I am anti-Trans. I am not. But Deuso like others in the past including Rose Danese are just being used.
Deuso and her over inflated ego are just a bigger pawn in a game that will undoubtedly contain a sprinkling of dark money again, so watch those campaign finance reports, and what is “dark” money? Allow me to provide a refresher:

Of course it also remains to be seen if Grandma Charlotte will see if the Democrat in the neighboring 167th District gets primaried. Why would I say that? Because State Rep Kristine Howard didn’t mind her place and ran for judge last spring in the primary and Grandma Charlotte and her flying monkeys and others did not want her to do that. They may still want to punish her for that, right? Howard is a terrible State Representative and I didn’t think she was qualified to be a judge, so if there is new blood for that race out of the Democrat side, it just depends who it is. But it will be interesting to see what happens there.
But I digress, although it is connected. Why? Because Kristine Howard used to be a flying monkey after a fashion, didn’t she?
It seems every time there’s an election cycle coming up in Chester County and if there is someone currently in elected office who is independent and there for the right reasons Charlotte Valyo talks out of both sides of her mouth and has to try to get rid of whomever it is. Last time it was Magisterial District Justice Paige Simmons, and this time and again it’s Danielle Friel Otten. And this time the pawn is Erica Deuso. One would think Deuso would be intelligent enough to figure this out, but apparently she’s not. But she is actually part of the flying monkeys squad, isn’t she? But hey Erica Deuso, remember that once flying monkeys no longer have a use, they are discarded aren’t they?
Also whatever happened to those magical 2023 bylaws? Remember that issue?
Why are the bylaws still not on their website? Where are they and shouldn’t they be readily available? Or did I miss them on the website? Also interesting? CCDC is seeking a paid monkey as of November 29th:
The Executive Director is to assist the Chair and Executive Committee in support of the political, fundraising, communications, and administrative operations of the Chester County Democratic Committee. This ideal candidate will have multiple cycles of leadership roles on political campaigns, a sense of professionalism around politically sensitive matters including donor calls and meetings, extensive training, and the ability to multi-task. The ideal candidate is a collaborative self-starter who is flexible in their day-to-day responsibilities while requiring little oversight. An understanding of Chester County politics, elected officials, and major local political issues is an asset.
It seems to me that they are advertising for a brain for Charlotte Valyo doesn’t it? Why not just get rid of her instead? The root of this problem is Grandma Charlotte and those others who can’t ever leave the proverbial party. The Chester County Democratic Committee needs fumigation and a makeover.
Until then, Happy Holidays dear Charlotte, we are all watching….and exercising our First Amendment rights.
