81st District Candidates Respond to Questions
The Huntingdon County Chamber of Commerce has partnered with The Daily News to share responses from questions posed to the candidates of the 81st Legislative District. We encourage you to vote in the November 3 election, and hope that these responses will assist you in making your selection. Knowledge is power and we want you to have the power to make a difference by being an informed voter.
We asked the candidates for the 81st Legislative District to answer four questions. The candidates, Richard Irvin (Republican) and Ian Kidd (Democrat), were instructed to limit their answers to 250 words each. No changes have been made to the answers submitted.
