At this moment, there's no shortage of Democrats who wish to wear their party's mantle in this year's Pa. 7 race for the seat currently held by Republican Ryan Mackenzie. And for good reason. A blue wave was felt in last year's municipal races and Republican are in danger of losing the House and possibly the Senate in this year's midterms, and the Pa. 7 Congressional race is rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report. There are currently seven candidates, but that number might fall once nomination petitions are returned.
These seven candidates are Robert Brooks, Ryan Crosswell, Aiden Alexander Gonzales, Michael Ramon Granados, Jr., Lamont McClure, Carol Obando-Derstine and Mark Pinsley and Lewis Shupe.
You can see and hear from them yourselves on two separate occasions this week.
Tonight, Resurrected Life Church (620 Hamilton St, Allentown, Pa 18101) will host a forum between 6 and 7:30 pm. Its focus is supposed to be the economy
Thursday. Muhlenberg College Democrats and LV Young Democrats will host a debate at The Great Room, Seegers Union (parking is at the loop and on Chew Street). Doors open at 6:30 pm.
I missed the first get together at Lafayette College because I thought it was private. But I will attend one of these events this week
