Patel’s opponent, Republican incumbent K.C. Tomlinson, recently voted against a bill that would have provided free lunches to K-12 students in public schools.
Only one Republican and five Democrats agreed to participate. The remaining candidates vying to represent 10 House seats apparently couldn’t be bothered.
“Rep. K.C. Tomlinson joined other MAGA Republicans by voting against free lunch for children in need, a heartless vote that will hit hardest the most impoverished student populations,” said the PA House Democratic Campaign Committee.
