Who Will Win PA’s Democratic Primary on May 19?

May 19 is a big voting day in Pennsylvania. The state’s 3rd Congressional District has long been represented by Rep. Dwight Evans, but with his retirement, a host of Democratic candidates are now vying for the job.

The three major candidates to keep an eye on: State Senator Sharif Street, State Rep. Chris Rabb, and Dr. Ala Stanford.

To help the Hall Monitor team preview this tightly contested primary, we’re talking to Philadelphia Tribune reporter Marco Cerino. He’s long covered city politics and will provide some insight on who may have the edge after a long campaign.
