The Carbon County Democrats held their annual fundraiser tonight in Penn Forest Township. All three congressional candidates for the 9th District attended and spoke to us.
Denny Wolff was Secretary of Agriculture in Ed Rendell’s cabinet. He currently owns a dairy farm in Columbia County.
Laura Quick is a U.P.S. package delivery person, a Teamsters Union member, and a former French teacher.
Gary Wegman is a vintner in Berks County who also is a dentist and has extensive experience on governmental commissions.
All three candidates are intelligent, rational, reasonable people. Each of them stands in marked contrast to the Republican candidates running in this district.
The Republicans are trying to whip up hysteria about immigrants and attempting to cling to Trump’s coattails in the hope that he remains popular in this district. They are still talking about draining the swamp. I will agree that the current Washington scene is full of corruption, scandal, and misuse of funds, but ourg Republican candidates will just add to the mess.
