Pair Trade Barbs In GOP Lt. Governor’s Race

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A Republican seeking his party’s nomination for Pennsylvania lieutenant governor in next month’s primary is telling one of his eight opponents that he plans to confront him in person over a Facebook post raising questions about his background because it merely mentioned his wife. The back-and-forth between two candidates in a statewide contest that has been largely overshadowed this spring by nominating races for governor and U.S. Senate occurred last week. State Rep. Russ Diamond of Lebanon County and opponent Teddy Daniels both posted Facebook videos attacking each other. Daniels is objecting to Diamond mentioning Daniels’ wife in his video, telling Diamond he’s “going to have to answer for that.”
