People wait in line to vote early at the State Farm Arena on Monday, Oct. 12, 2020, in Atlanta.

WITF’s Election 2020 coverage on Smart Talk continues Wednesday when we’re joined by Democrat Sarah Hammond, who is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in the 11th Congressional District.

The 11th District includes all of Lancaster County and the southern half of York County. Incumbent Republican Congressman Lloyd Smucker is also on the ballot. He is scheduled to appear on Smart Talk Friday.

Also on Smart Talk Wednesday is Republican Stacy Garrity who is running for Pennsylvania Treasurer. Other candidates on the ballot are incumbent Democratic Treasurer Joe Torsella, Libertarian Joe Soloski and Green Party candidate Timothy Runkle. Both Runkle and Torsella appeared on Smart Talk and their interviews can be heard at WITF.org/elections.

The Pennsylvania Office of the State Treasurer serves as the custodian of more than $100 billion in Commonwealth funds, and is responsible for the receipt and deposit of state monies, investment management and oversight of all withdrawals and deposits from state agencies.

As a reminder to our listeners, these conversations with candidates are designed to explore where the candidates stand on issues so that voters have information to assist them when deciding which candidates they will vote for.

These conversations are happening earlier than in past election years because so many voters are voting by mail.
