Democratic candidates challenging Metcalfe will meet in forum
Constituents of the 12th District will have a chance next week to meet with the two Democratic candidates running to represent their party in the election for state representative.
The Butler County Democratic Party is holding a public forum at 2 p.m. March 24 at the Cranberry Township Municipal Center, where attendees can ask candidates about their principles and positions.
“It's a forum for Honora Rockar and Dan Smith, so we will ask them some questions we have prepared, but they will not know the questions ahead of time,” said Catherine Lalonde, Butler County Democratic Party volunteer. “Then the audience will have a chance to ask some questions.”
The 12th District includes Callery, Mars, Seven Fields and Valencia boroughs and Clinton, Cranberry, Forward, Middlesex and Penn townships.
Registered Democrats residing in these municipalities will be eligible to vote in the primary. The winner will face Republican Daryl Metcalfe in the fall.
