Erie Gay News and Mental Health Association of NW PA (MHA) jointly held a candidate forum on Thursday, March 24 at MHA, 1101 Peach St, Erie PA. The forum focused on LGBT, mental health and poverty issues. Erie Gay News had previously sent out candidate questionnaires on LGBT issues to all major party candidates for US Senate, US Congress PA-3 and PA-5, PA State Senate District 49 and PA State House Districts 1,2,3,4 and 6 and invited candidates from both parties to the forum.
Both local TV news teams provided coverage. The forum was moderated by Ron Ames. Candidates attending/represented included Ron DiNicola for Hillary Clinton (candidate for US President – D), Judi Roth for Joe Sestak (candidate for US Senate – D), Sean Wiley, candidate for PA State Senate District 49 (D-Incumbent), Pat Harkins, candidate for PA State House District 1 (D-Incumbent), Flo Fabrizio, candidate for PA State House District 2 (D-Incumbent) at Peter Zimmer, candidate for PA State House District 6 (D).
Light refreshments were served, and there was a good turnout. Erie Gay News and MHA are looking forward to holding another candidate forum in the fall for the general election. The forum will be October 6 and the general election is on November 8.
