Additionally, he claimed that he increased funding for libraries, blocked suburbanites from having to pay a commuter tax to Pittsburgh, and provided tax credits to draw film production to the state. He lost the 2006 primary election to Mark Harris, a 21-year-old college student. Stevenson was heavily criticized for his support for the 2005 legislative pay raise. During a negative campaign, Stevenson attacked his opponent as a political novice by airing television commercials depicting a tree house, "the only property Mr. Harris has ever owned." (en)
