Rep. Gerlach cancels fundraiser with Boehner
From CNN Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pennsylvania Rep. Jim Gerlach, a centrist Republican locked in a tight race for re-election, told CNN that he postponed a fundraiser with House Majority Whip John Boehner last night, R-Ohio, because of "unresolved issues" regarding former Rep. Mark Foley's sexually explicit text message correspondence with House pages.

"There are a lot of unresolved issues about the Foley situation," Gerlach told CNN. "It would have been inappropriate to move forward with the fundraiser last night."
