Smart Talk: 31st State Senate candidate debate
Written by Scott LaMar, Smart Talk Host/Executive Producer | Apr 13, 2016 4:33 PM
What to look for on Smart Talk Thursday, April 14, 2016:
WITF's Smart Talk, along with the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and CREDC, are hosting several political debates this month before Pennsylvania's April 26th primary election.
Our goal is to inform voters and talk with the candidates about their priorities and positions on the most important issues facing Pennsylvania.
The candidates to appear on Smart Talk Thursday are Republicans Brice Arndt, Scott Harper, Mike Regan and Jon Ritchie. They are running for the Pennsylvania State Senate in the 31st District, which includes parts of Cumberland and York Counties. The seat is being vacated by longtime Sen. Pat Vance, who is retiring.
Among the issues we'll discuss are jobs, education, taxes, experience and bipartisan cooperation in Harrisburg.
Smart Talk will also host candidates running for the Senate in Lancaster County next Monday.
