Following the PA Senate Race

In just an hour, the three democratic candidates for PA Senate will participate in a live televised debate on WTAE. In just three weeks, the voters of Pennsylvania will go to the polls to decide which one of these three candidates will challenge Republican Pat Toomey in the general election.

You can follow the debate on Twitter with the #PASenDebate. I’ve created a Twitter list of the candidates for Pa Senate here.

Here are the social media accounts and stats for each of the 4 candidates who are currently in the race for Pennsylvania senate:
