Argall

In an interview, Sen. David Argall, R-Schuylkill, acknowledged that moving it to either of those dates still leaves many states with large numbers of delegates before Pennsylvania, including Super Tuesday primary states on March 5.

Argall’s bill would move the primary date to March 19, the same date as Ohio, Florida, Illinois, Kansas and Arizona.

Many state lawmakers oppose moving Pennsylvania’s primary date to March 19, because that would force them and other candidates to start gathering signatures on their re-election petitions the week before Christmas, Argall said.

“It’s agony, pure agony,” Ms. Argall said in that interview.

Ms. O’Brien’s mother, Ellen Argall, told CBS News this week that Frank and Kerry O’Brien are married and that both are licensed boat captains and have sailed for nearly 20 years.
