Cohen and Welch welcome Sellers in 6th District (Updated)

Two Republican candidates in the 6th District greeted their latest of many primary opponents Tuesday, offering words of welcome to Patrick Sellers.

“I welcome Pat into this race which is critical to the future of our region,” businessman Steven Welch said in a statement. “Pat and I share a common concern that our nation is on a risky fiscal path, creating mountains of debt on the backs of our children and grandchildren. 6th District voters are the true beneficiaries when they have numerous candidates to look at, with a robust debate over which policies can help move us forward.

“I look forward to a spirited and substantive campaign with Pat and the other Republican candidates in the primary,” Welch added.

In his own statement, former Thonrburgh administration Revenue Secretary Howard Cohen praised Sellers’ focus on economic issues.

“In his announcement he focused on important economic issues, and I look forward to a civil, in depth exploration of these critical issues with him and the others seeking the GOP nomination,” Cohen said. “There is nothing more important than debating ways to get our neighbors back to work.

Our discussions on these issues is vital to encourage the growth of small and family businesses where so many new jobs will be created,” Cohen added. “Pat’s reputation warrants that attention be given to his thoughts, and I intend to do that.”
