The first debate just concluded a few hours ago, PCN was taping the event but had technical difficulties so the first half is missing. See below for part 1 and part 2 that was taped. A volunteer videotaped the event so we hope to have 
footage soon! It was the first debate of my life, and went great!! The event was mobbed with people — after the first several hundred people, the event staff had to turn away scores of residents. Now that I have debate experience under my belt, I can hardly wait for the next debate on September 24th at Cedar Crest College!!! Debate schedule here.
Today is the September 14th Money Bomb, put together by grassroots supporters. The last money bomb in August raised exactly $3000 from 52 donors, and was used to purchase yard signs.
It is expected that all money raised today will go towards radio ads, which are affordable on the local favorite radio stations. A 30-second spot costs roughly $30 depending on the time and will reach thousands of listeners. The campaign’s first radio buy commences today at 6 AM, you can listen to the ad and share it below!
The vast majority of the money spent already was used to build the campaign enough momentum to get to this point and finish the arduous petitioning process for ballot access. I cannot highlight enough how at this point a little money goes a long way. Thank you very much for your support!!
Jake, your answers were clear and right on! Callahan stammers and stutters, and looked the fool with his “simple 5 point” plan….like our problems are that small or simple! Dent’s mumbling had to be addressed by a volunteer moving his mic closer, and then also being asked to speak louder! He didn’t even look you in the eye for the opening handshake….but then we loved the shocked looks he was giving you through-out the rest of the debate. Dent has TWO principal opponents now (he failed to dismiss you by talking about his only ONE). On a personal level, I thought it very amusing that the two-headed/one-party Republicrats even DRESSED alike….blue shirts with red ties. You’re gold tie was perfect…..kudos!
I haven’t even watched it yet, but the way Ginny describes it, I’m going to ENJOY sitting back and watching you debate these two!!
Jake,
I didn’t tarry long enough after Monday night’s debate to catch you, but wanted to let you know I thought you did a fine job articulating various aspects of the Towne platform as well as delineating yourself from the old party candidates. Their attempts to dismiss your candidacy and solely recognize each other as legitimate contenders were truly pitiful. Hopefully, the people of the 15th District can see clearly through the haze the legacy political machines seek to generate.
For the Republics of Pennsylvania and the States, united,
John M. DiLiberto
Jake,
Excellent job. Your closing statement was the best part. I hope that sound-bite resounds through the Lehigh Valley.
just found very good media coverage
