Pa Democrats Prep National Telethon
Harrisburg AP Pennsylvania Democrats plan a national telethon from Los Angeles on Sept 15 carried by PA stations. Last year the national haul reached $4 million with PA sending about $171,000 to the state committee. Half goes to the state and half to national. Funds support a fall fundraising dinner and statewide races, plus future governor and U.S. Senate contests. Philadelphia faces internal debates over share splitting but no plans to cut Philadelphia or other counties’ proceeds.
