Doug Mastriano, Bill McSwain, Dave White and Lou Barletta offered their opinions on the major issues inside the WHTM/abc27 studio Wednesday night.
The four leading Republican primary candidates for governor agreed on the questions they faced in an hourlong debate Wednesday night inside the WHTM/abc27 studio in Harrisburg, so much of the time was spent trying to separate themselves from their opponents.
Former U.S. Attorney Bill McSwain repeatedly stressed to viewers that he is a “conservative outsider.” On infrastructure, the candidates said the current system, which uses gas tax funds to repair bridges, needs to be reviewed and overhauled. None offered an alternative funding stream if the gas tax is reduced.
White said Trump has “put America first just like I’d put Pennsylvania first,” then talked about his background as a steamfitter and business owner.
