Parnell To Speak at Republican National Convention

One congressional hopeful from Pennsylvania is slated to speak at the Republican National Convention next week. 

First reported by Breitbart on Tuesday morning, Sean Parnell, a combat veteran and conservative author who is the GOP nominee for the 17th Congressional District, will speak at next week’s RNC. 

In a statement to PoliticsPA, Parnell described the opportunity as an “honor” and talked about the message he intends to bring to the national audience. 

“It’s an honor to be invited by the president of the United States to speak at the Republican national convention,” Parnell said. “We need leaders who will step up and defend freedom on all fronts and I look forward to bringing that message to the national stage.”

Parnell and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem were the lone lawmakers announced in this specific rollout, although several other speakers were included in this report

Before Parnell has the opportunity to address the nation next week, Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Allegheny), who he is attempting to unseat, will speak at the Democratic National Convention tonight. Lamb is being dubbed as one of the 17 “rising stars” within the party that will deliver the keynote address at the convention on Tuesday evening. Reps. Brendan Boyle (D-Philadelphia) and state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) will also provide the keynote tonight, making Pennsylvania the only state that has three speakers for tonight’s “rising stars” keynote address at the DNC. 

President Donald Trump endorsed Parnell during the GOP primary and often shouts out in PA-centric addresses. Parnell was the lone congressional hopeful that Trump shouted out in his most recent PA tele-rally earlier in August.

The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball all have the race in PA17 as “Likely Democratic.

  12. Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman Paul Manafort worked closely with a Russian intelligence officer.

    Grove says the response from the Dept. of Education comes after the Department of Health sent him an identical response to another Right-to-Know request seeking the same information.

    “These two responses appear to confirm what so many people thought: the governor’s comment at the tail-end of a press briefing to recommend sports be canceled this year was made in the same careful and concerned way in which it was delivered,” Grove said.
