The six declared Republican candidates for Pennsylvania’s primary in the 3rd Congressional District will debate at Allegheny College April 26. It is the second debate for the candidates in the past month.
“This will be an important primary election, and we’re quite pleased to be hosting a candidate forum. Events of this sort really help the voters become more familiar with the candidates and the issues,” says Daniel M. Shea, director of Allegheny’s Center for Political Participation, sponsor of the event.
The six declared candidates are:
- Steven Fisher, 52, Cochranton, a health insurance salesman
- Ed Franz, 48, Conneautville, an hourly worker at General Electric Corp., Erie
- Clayton Grabb, 47, a Butler pharmaceutical salesman
- Paul Huber, 65, a Meadville businessman
- Mike Kelly, 61, a Butler car dealership owner
- Dr. Martha Moore, 52, a Sandy Lake family practitioner
The debate will be held at Quigley Hall, Henderson Auditorium, at Allegheny College April 26 at 7 p.m. Professor Shea will moderate, joined by Meadville Tribune political reporter Keith Gushard. The candidates are expected to field questions from the audience.
