According to CQ Politics:

Republican businessman Steven Welch, who promises that his run in the 7th District, a suburban Philadelphia constituency, will feature a "new style of campaigning that will focus on voter engagement and utilize cutting-edge technologies."

What do you know about Mr. Welch, and do you see him as a strong candidate, as he would have to be in the Democratic-leaning district currently represented by Representative Sestak if he hopes to win?

Welch running for PA-07 | 1 comments

I just saw his website

He doesn't look like a strong candidate to me. His issues page just lists a bunch of generic Republican talking points ("cut wasteful spending") with no actual specific ideas. Also he's apparently trying to build on a populist anger over the bailouts, but without saying anything about financial deregulation that caused the collapse and made the bailouts necessary.
