He added attendees at the event will have pizza and soft drinks provided by the county Republican committee.
While most of the attention in this year’s elections will see tickets headed for county-wide or multi-municipality offices, there will also be a host of more local offices like those for school district directorships or those for township or borough positions, he noted.
