Who Will Get Their Vote?
ALLENTOWN – Before deciding how
they’ll vote, a “bipartisan” family sat down for dinner with each candidate
running to represent the Lehigh Valley in Congress. PBS 39 helped Kevin, a Republican, and his
wife Krista, a Democrat, arrange two dinners recently with Republican Charles
Dent and then with Democrat Sam Bennett just this past Friday. Kevin and Krista will announce their pick
when the show airs.
“I wish I could sit down with every
family over dinner and talk about the issues,” said Bennett. “Krista and Kevin’s family share some of the
same concerns as many hardworking families I’ve met on the campaign trail. They asked about important issues like
education, the economy, energy, Iraq, and health care. I'd be honored to earn their
vote.”
Kevin and Krista’s family live in
Schnecksville. Together they have three
kids – Kelsey, 6, Carter, 4, and Eleanor, 2.
Krista is a medical education professor and her husband Kevin is a family
physician. So far this election, Krista
voted in the Democratic primary while Kevin voted in the Republican
primary. Now, they’ll both have to
decide which candidate will get their vote on November
4th.
PBS 39 taped the two dinners for
their Pasta and Politics special. The
special is scheduled to air along with a joint candidate forum on Thursday,
October 30th at 7:30 pm on PBS 39.
Tune in, watch the dinner and the forum, and find out which candidate won Kevin and Krista’s votes! |
