On the afternoon of July 25, neighbors gathered for a FunDay Sunday Barbeque for Hugh Giordano, who is running for State House of Representatives in District 194. The event was held at the home of Ben and Linda LaPorte on Renz Street in Roxborough.

Prominently in attendance was Bill Morris, a union carpenter who had run in the Democratic Primary for District 194. Morris now endorses Hugh Giordano saying, “at the end of the day, I feel Hugh is the best candidate.” There was plenty of music, food and good cheer in the backyard filled with friends, family and neighbors who were there to support Giordano.

Hugh Giordano: Forum Silenced the People’s Voice
By Carol McLean, mcleansammi@yahoo.com or (215)843-4256

On Wednesday, April 28, three civic associations in Roxborough and East Falls sponsored a candidates’ forum at Aria Hospital. This was booked as an opportunity for voters to hear the candidates’ views and ask questions from the floor. Unfortunately, only Democratic Party candidates were invited to speak; the Green Party and Republican Party were silenced. A press conference was called by the Hugh Giordano Campaign, http://www.hughgiordano.com, prior to the forum. For more information on the Hugh Giordano Campaign, please telephone 215-243-7103 or email friendsofhugh@gmail.com.
