Pa. Dems State Committee Preview

This weekend, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party is gathering for its Fall dinner Friday night, and general meeting Saturday afternoon.  The meeting is being held at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel.  

The dinner will feature speeches from former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander, U.S. Senator Bob Casey, and Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-Lackawanna).  Supreme Court Justice Debra Todd, Supreme Court candidate Dwayne Woodruff, Philadelphia City Controller candidate Rebecca Rhynhart, and Wilkinsburg Councilwoman Marita Garrett will also speak at the dinner.  

The only reception scheduled for Friday night is hosted by the Young Democrats for the statewide judicial candidates.

The Fall meeting in odd years often serves as a kickoff for the fall campaign for the statewide judicial candidates, and a place for possible candidates in 2018 to start floating their names to activists.  

PoliticsPA will be there for the whole event, follow our Twitter account, and our Managing Editor’s Twitter account for live updates during the event.

  1. I find it somewhat comical that the Dems and Reps are using the same hotel for their fall meetings and just weeks apart. I wonder if they joined forces would the block rate for the rooms go down?

  2. Keep an eye out for perpetual loser SEPA Democratic leaders to praise each other wildly and think they know what they’re doing.

  3. Will Cole Goodman be there prowling for high school girls?

    Will Rogette Harris be peddling her ebay business that was once run from inside the capitol?

    Will Charlie Dent join the Democratic Party?

    Will David Diano get to the bottom of Ubergate 2016?

    Will Jason Kander assemble a rifle blindfolded?

    See you all there!

    1. Ubergate update: there seems to be a shift from investigating to setting up future auditing procedures. It’s unclear about the will to have an audit of what already occurred (since the people who’d have to vote for an audit are likely the people the audit would catch).

  • Will tonight's U.S. Senate debate affect your decision?
