Kamala and Liz

What a week to live in Erie, PA! On Monday vice-president and presidential candidate Kamala Harris was here and spoke to a crowd of over 9,000 at the Erie Civic Center (to those who know Erie, it's the sports center attached to the Seawolves baseball park on E 9th St.)

Then on Thursday, Liz Cheney was interviewed by Sister Joan Chittister at the Bayfront Convention Center on Presque Isle Bay, sponsored by the Jefferson Education Society. The crowd there was 4,000 a record for the JES.

Many sisters attended, although many were not able to get into see Harris as the Civic Center filled up early. As Steve Scully said to Cheney in his wrap up, "You do know that you're in the swingiest county in the swing state of Pennsylvania, don't you?" She smiled and laughed, as did the audience.

Sister Joan Chittister, former representative and committee member on the January 6, 2021 Select Committee Liz Cheney, and moderator, Erie-native, CSPAN host Steve Scully.

Here's the local news clip on Harris.
