Unfortunately, the two Congressional Races, PA Districts 12 and 15 were be covered at this event.  The Federal Election Commission regulations that govern such forums and the LWV policies that guide us, require that at least two parties be present for each federal office at candidate forums. While Lee Griffin (D)  accepted our invitation, U.S. Representative Fred Keller (R)  of the 12th District declined.  Neither the candidate for the 15th Congressional District, Robert Williams (D) nor U.S. Representative Glenn Thompson (R) responded to our invitation.
