Harris campaign gets serious about courting Pa. GOP voters at organizing event in Lancaster

LANCASTER— With six weeks until the presidential election, the Harris campaign hosted its first in-person organizing event aimed at winning over Republicans in Pennsylvania, in conservative Lancaster County.

“If you’ve got a coalition happening that stretches all the way from AOC on the left to Dick Cheney on the right,” Ann Womble, Republicans for Harris co-chair said at the gathering at Barn At Stoner Commons, “you know this is a big tent and you know that we can find a place in this effort, even if we don’t agree with all the policies.”

Womble, who was the former Lancaster County Republican Party’s chairperson from 2012 to 2014, leads the Harris campaign’s effort to win over Republicans in Pennsylvania with former U.S. Rep. Jim Greenwood, who represented a district in the Philadelphia suburbs from 1993 to 2005.

Greenwood called himself a “real Republican” to the 100 people in attendance on Tuesday, detailing his background in elected office as a Republican. He encouraged the audience to go out and talk to their friends who are undecided in the election and say the choice is “pretty simple.”
