The Venango County Democrats held a signature event Sunday morning in Oil City. Their goal was to help candidates for state and local offices collect the signatures they need to be on the primary ballot this May.
Though candidates like Josh Shapiro fo governor were represented, the candidates in attendance were Rick Telez running against congressman Glenn Thompson, Dan Pastore hoping to upend congressman Mike Kelly, Brian Sims who hopes to fill John Fetterman's Carhart sweatshirt in the Lt. Governor's chair and Fetterman himself who hoping to fill the seat being vacated by republican Senator Pat Toomey.

"Turnout was great," said John Kluck who headed the event. Though republicans have a strong hold on Venango County, the candidates and Kluck know the importance of every vote. "When the elections are close, Venango County will definitely be important," Kluck said.
Though the event garnered over 100 signatures for Shapiro alone, Kluck said door to door canvassing will get underway this week. The Pennsylvania primary will be May 17.
