Pennsylvania Presidential Delegates Declarations — Pennsylvania is sending 71 delegates to Republican Presidential Convention, July 18-21 in Cleveland. Seventeen will be bound to the state’s top vote-getter. The remaining 54 — three per congressional district — have no restriction as for to whom they may vote. Theoretically, they can vote for anybody or anything.
Lois Kaneshiki, who chairs the Republican Liberty Caucus of Pennsylvania, has been diligently compiling the declarations of the congressional district delegates.
Her list can be found here.
In the 1st District, which consists of parts of Philadelphia and Delaware counties, Seth Kaufer, and Christopher Vogler are uncommitted and David Hackett has not responded.
In the 2nd District, which consists of parts of Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, Aldrick Gessa has committed for Ted Cruz, Elizabeth Havey has committed for the district winner, Calvin Tucker is uncommitted and Aaron Cohen has not yet responded.
In the 6th District, which consists of parts of Chester, Montgomery, Berks and Lebanon counties, Wayne Buckwalter has declared for Donald Trump; Ryan Costello, who is the district’s congressman, Douglas Hager, Michelle Kichline Haris, Vicki Lightcap, and Larry Stohler, have declared for the district winner; and Mary Elizabeth Wert and Robert A. Wert have declared for Ted Cruz.
In the 7th District, which consists of parts of Delaware, Montgomery, Chester, Lancaster and Berks counties, party-endorsed Michael Puppio, Joan Miller and Bob Willert have pledged themselves to the district winner on the first ballot. However, Ralph E. Wike III and Jan C. Ting have declared for Donald Trump. Ting initially declared himself uncommitted as he thought he was required to do so by party rules. He came out for Trump, however, on the April 20 Laura Ingraham Show.
In the 8th District, which consists of Bucks County and part of Montgomery County, Barry Robert Casper and Sean Shute have committed to the district winner, Deborah Evangelou has committed to Ted Cruz and the party-endorsed trio of Gene DiGirolamo, Robert Loughery and Maguerite will not commit to anything.
