Republican state committee people from 13 counties in the northeast and Lehigh Valley gathered in two separate meetings on Saturday to hear from candidates vying for the state's open U.S. Senate and governor's seats and vote on favorites.
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Bartos came away the favorite in two regional caucus straw polls held on Saturday. Those polls gave GOP candidates Lou Barletta and Dave White more confidence in their bid to be their party's nominee.Montgomery County real estate developer Jeff Bartos continues to build on his lead in the crowded field of Republicans vying for the open U.S. Senate race.
But those straw poll results were more mixed when it came to the crowded field of gubernatorial candidates vying to take on presumed Democratic nominee Josh Shapiro in November. Blake Marles, chairman of the Northeast Central Caucus, said his caucus chooses to rank candidates by the number of first, second and third place votes “to give these folks enough data so they understand where they fit in the pecking order right now and I don’t think a straw poll ranking does that.”
“I am continually humbled by the grassroots support my campaign is receiving from Pennsylvanians in every county,” Bartos said in a statement. “Republicans across the commonwealth know that my roots in Pennsylvania run deep, and that I have always fought for our communities and always will. I look forward to continuing to serve my fellow Pennsylvanians.
