Rep. Barletta Clear Winner of First Debate
Hazleton, PA - Tonight, U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta was the clear winner in the
first debate between the incumbent congressman and Democratic challenger, Gene
Stilp.
Rep. Barletta clearly explained the challenges facing the 11th District and
the nation, and proposed solutions in a wide range of subject areas, from job
creation to foreign policy to energy.
"Lou Barletta showed he is not afraid to tackle the the tough issues, solve
America's problems, and put Americans back to work," said Lance Stange, Campaign
Manager.
"Stilp, on the other hand, offered vague, evasive answers and untruths to
hide his lack of understanding of the issues and his shocking lack of plans or
even ideas on how to save essential government programs that help seniors, the
sick, and the poor."
