SALISBURY TWP., Pa. — Little daylight separated the Lehigh Valley's three Republican congressional candidates during an hourlong debate Wednesday afternoon.
Kevin Dellicker, an Air Force Reserve intelligence officer; state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie; and Maria Montero, a member of former Gov. Tom Corbett's administration, faced off at WFMZ's studio for a taping of 'Business Matters.' The three political hopefuls staked out similar positions on just about every subject broached by host Tony Iannelli.
On foreign affairs, the three offered unequivocal support for Israel and its continued military campaign in Gaza following Hamas' Oct. 7 attack. They labeled the Chinese government as the United States' primary enemy and agreed America needed to be careful not to be dragged into every foreign conflict in order to build up its military.
Domestically, they blamed President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats — including Rep. Susan Wild, the incumbent in Pennsylvania's 7th Congressional District — for creating runaway inflation with massive spending bills.

Montero mostly stayed out of the fray while the two men squared up, but she made a veiled jab at Mackenzie. With so many Americans questioning the integrity of elections, Republicans need to hold the lawmakers who supported Act 77 of 2019 to account, she said. Mackenzie and nearly every other Republican in the General Assembly voted for the law, which expanded mail-in voting across the state.
“I don't think we should be promoting people who voted for it,” Montero said.
Act 17 allowed no excuses Vote By Mail.
Flip a seat? Not in Pa. The Democrats will sweep the ballots in November. The Republicans can’t even get a good candidate to run against Bob Casey, an empty suit.

The Lehigh Valley has a lot of Hispanics (majority democrats).
I can see Montero giving Susan Wild a run if enough Hispanic women vote for the fellow Hispanic. Otherwise, the Rats will find enough mail-in ballots AFTER election day to win by 1%.
This happens over and over again, year after year in Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton. /spit
