The Republican State Committee members from southeastern counties met on Wednesday to pick their favorites in the crowded field of candidates vying for open U.S. Senate and governor seats.
U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Bartos of Montgomery County and Delaware County businessman Dave White won the straw polls conducted on Wednesday in the Southeast Caucus of Republican State Committee members. Feb. 2, 2022 File photosThe last of the regional straw polls of Pennsylvania Republican state committee members produced wins for U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Bartos and gubernatorial candidate Dave White on their home turf.
In the U.S. Senate race, Bartos, a real estate executive from Montgomery County, received 34 votes to continue his string of earlier wins in the Central andand Northwest caucuses that scored the candidates differently than the other caucuses. In the governor’s race, White received 30 votes to build on his previous record of being the top vote-getter in the Central, Northeast Central, and Southwest caucuses and being among the top three favorites in the Northwest Caucus poll.
A straw poll taken on the question of whether the state committee should endorse in candidates in these races resulted in 42 no votes and 37 yes votes, according to results provided by Montgomery County Republican Committee’s executive director Julia Vahey. That result mimics the feelings of committee members in at least two other regional caucuses where that question was polled.
