Dem. Attorney General Forum - Sun. Jan. 29 - @KathleenGKane & @PatrickMurphyPA to attend
ATTORNEY GENERAL FORUM SET FOR EAST END

A forum for Democratic attorney general candidates will be held on Sunday, January 29, 2012 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM in the Wightman School Community Building, 5604 Solway Street, in Squirrel Hill.

The event is co-hosted by the 14^th Ward Independent Democratic Club and the 14^th and 7^th Ward Democratic Committees.

Democratic attorney general candidates Kathleen Kane and Patrick Murphy will be attending and candidate Dan McCaffrey has been invited to participate. Come join us. It’s free and we’ll have good food. Audience members will pose questions, and the candidates will have an equal opportunity to inform voters of their views. The panel discussion will begin at 2:00.

This will be the first Pittsburgh-area forum for candidates vying for the Democratic Party’s nomination for attorney general. The primary election will be held on April 24.

With more than 18,000 registered Democrats, the 14th Ward is the largest ward in the City of Pittsburgh and second largest in the state. More people voted in the 2010 general election in the 14th Ward than in 22 Pennsylvania counties. The ward includes all or part of Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, North Point Breeze, Regent Square, Park Place, and Swisshelm Park. The 7^th Ward covers Shadyside.

The 14^th Ward club is not affiliated with the Democratic Committee of Allegheny County. It formed in 1964 and is the longest standing independent Democratic club in the country.
