A very strange turn of events.
Allyson Schwartz is a Democratic member of Congress, she is also running for governor of Pennsylvania.

She recently voted for theFederal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, commonly known as the Farm Bill. It passed the Republican-controlled House last week and the Senate this week.
The Republican Governors Association attacked her for voting for it, linking to a Washington Times report saying it raised the price of heating oil.
“The recent string of polar plunges and extremely cold weather has placed an added burden on many family budgets, especially when it comes to heating their homes,” RGA communications director Gail Gitcho said. “It is shocking that want-to-be governor and liberal Washington, D.C. Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz would vote to increase the fees on home heating oil at this time. The working families of Pennsylvania can least afford to pay for this onerous tax.”

This is all very odd because her opponent, Pennsylvania's Republican governor Tom Corbett supports the Farm Bill and sent out a press release urging President Obama to sign it into law.
