Our latest Republican hopeful also is a regular poster at NewsTalkPA which is part of the ever expanding GrassrootsPA internet empire.
Name Kathleen M. Dobash
Age 51
Residence Hazleton, PA
Reason for Running
I hope to encourage more citizens to vote and become involved with the political process.
I want to restore confidence in our local government leadership.
I want to address the issue of the local corruption. The citizens of this county cannot afford to pay for abuse of the system.
Property owners pay taxes in good faith. Wasteful spending and deception cannot continue.
I am an advocate for the elderly and for those who cannot represent themselves.
I was elected Inspector of Elections and Constable for Hazleton City Ward 1. I actively write letters printed in our newspapers to talk about local issues. Vote for me on May 18Th.

Lady 0 do you have a clue what a state committee does??? Obviously not!!!!!!!!!
I agree, I think some of these people running for State Committee are confused and think they are running for State Rep--there is not much of anything a State Committee person can do about taxes or how the state budget is spent for example.
And why can't someone who writes above a 5th grade reading level run for something for a change? I nominate Gort!
As a voter, I appreciate the fact that Kathy did articulate where she stands on a few issues in spite of the fact that she will not be addressing such issues as a State Committee member. She will, however, if the committee continues to endorse candidates to our chagrin, be one of the committee votes. Beside that, many present state committee members need replacing about as much as our corrupt politicians do.
Thanks, Kathy.
Way to go, Michael - you are right! We need to get Linda Urban off state committee!! She is purely a puppet of her courthouse husband Steve - clean sweep of Linda on May 18!!

Love your hair, Kathy!!!!!!!!
Kathy: Stay the course! Don't let a few negative comments discourage you from completing your goal. The world is full of jerks! Anonomyous, I talking about you.....jerk.

Friday, May 14: The last day for the County Board of Elections to receive voted civilian absentee ballots!
Tuesday, May 18: GENERAL PRIMARY!! Get the vote out!!
Wednesday, May 19: The first day to register voters after the Municipal Primary!
Tuesday, May 25: The last day for the County Board of Elections to receive voted military and overseas absentee ballots (which must be postmarked no later than May 17)!
There are comments here about other candidates.
Let's just say I try my best to be the person you see.
I am a hard worker.
Some of the comments are nasty.
I do agree about those comments on State Committee which mention absence at meetings and having others cast their vote is not an ideal member.
Lies and other items are not good.
People make nameless comments to take shots at individuals.
Comments left by those who represent an organization or individual have more weight.
I appreciate the support!
Encourage everyone to vote on May 18th.

Kathy - you have nicer hair than Linda - I'm voting for you! But - oh - Steve - that Hitler mustache - it does it for the people!
Kathy - yes - it is a shame that some of the current women on state committee never show up!!! Defeat all of them! State Committee is for workers - NOT NO SHOWS!
YOU HAVE MY VOTE!
Here are some questions I received:
What is your position on the PA GOP endorsing candidates? do you believe that the State Committee should vote for the GOP to endorse candidates or do you believe that the party should not endorse until the people have voted in the primary?
My answer:
The Primary should be a time for all candidates (rich or poor) to step up, voice their ideas, concerns, solutions and questions.
Politics should not be based on your position in life: poor, middle class or rich.
More people struggle everyday to survive.
There are wealthy individuals who do not step up for the same reasons: Personal attacks and groups who want "favors". BRIBES seem to be a common practice.
It will take a long time to change this thinking.
Kathy has a passion for politics and is not afraid to voice her opinions. She makes sure her voice is heard and that you know what she stands for. That will help her on state committee.
Was there an answer to the endorsement question in there somewhere. Seems like a long explanation that never answered the question. Also, from Kathy's other answers, it seems that she has no clue what her resposibilities on state committee would be.

To whoever this anonymous person is: COuld it be oneof the other candidates? Be a little brave and leave you name. You posted your answer twice...are you drinking again? Get to bed earlier and post your comments when you are pleasant and alert.
:^)
I did answer.
I stated my belief about Primary endorsements. I will voice my opinion about primary endorsements.
I will not send in a proxy vote unless I am too ill to attend.
It is interesting to read the insults by nameless individuals.
Take care everyone,
Kathy
I had a typing error in my last message. I wanted to also say best of luck to all.
The last comments could be from the other candidates or their friends. I hope not...that would be very 'tacky" behavior.

That Linda Urban is naughty!!
Steve is YUMMY
Ok, so you still did not answer the question, should the state GOP endorse? You said
"The Primary should be a time for all candidates (rich or poor) to step up, voice their ideas, concerns, solutions and questions."
Duh! That's what a primary is, a time for the people to vote for all the candidates. I don't know what rich or poor is all about.
By the way, if you don't know who is posting, why are you accusing them of being an alcholic. A little pre-judgemental and not so open minded.
Kathy -
The local Republican office says Linda Urban has NEVER gone to any state meetings of the commitee. Do you pledge to attend all meetings of the committee? Will you do a better job than Linda? We, the public , need to know.
Thank you.
Hello!
I just saw this and I think poeple should take a joke once in a while.
Not pre-judging..just wondering about the no-name comments.
The rich or poor comment implies that those with money are the only candidates who can be successful.
Why do we require primary endorsements. Nameless comments appear to be an attempt to discourage individuals.
I will attend the meetings!
Read other candidate statements
on the Luzerne County GOP website.
Okay....I must rush out and complete many daily tasks!
another typing error
'poeple' should be 'people'
Enjoy the weekend everyone!
