The Republicans are coming!

The Dauphin County Republicans will host a campaign petition signing party for three candidates this Saturday, Feb. 2, from 10 am to noon at St. Thomas Roasters coffee house located near the Linglestown square:

* State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola and state Rep. Ron Marsico, both longtime officeholders who are seeking re-election.

* First-time candidate Toni Gilhooley who hopes to challenge incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Holden of Schuylkill County. Gilhooley is a 25-year veteran of the Pennsylvania State Police and a resident of Lower Paxton Township.

One or more of the candidates will be at Roasters to rub elbows with customers.
