On February 16, filing for the Pennsylvania presidential primaries closed. All candidates need petitions to get on the ballot. A presidential candidate needs 2,000 signatures on his or her own petition, and additional petitions for delegates.
The Pennsylvania Elections Department has this list of presidential candidates who filed petitions. Republicans who filed are Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump. Democrats are Hillary Clinton, Rocky De La Fuente, Bernie Sanders, and Willie Wilson.
An earlier version of this post said that John Kasich did not file a petition, but that was based on an incomplete list from the Pennsylvania Elections Department. Kasich was added to the list at about 6:30 p.m. eastern time.
Willie Wilson has been added to the list.
wow, that is a lot of delegates. 71. Either a colossal FU by Kasich campaign or an indicator that they don’t think they’ll be going that deep in to the primary season on April 26th.
And from a neighboring state.
I think he’ll be out of the race by then anyway.
Can’t believe everything you read on-line. Kasich has filed and is listed on the link to the Elections Division page.
It’s all about a brokered convention. By the way who the hell is Willie Wilson and Rocky?
Willie Wilson is from Chicago and Rocky De La Fuente is from San Diego. They have both been trying to get on presidential primary ballots around the nation and have had some success.
are they actual petitions accessible from the official pa dept of state elections website?
