Meet The Delegate Candidates Who Could Decide the GOP Nominee


Pennsylvania is taking its turn in the 2016 presidential spotlight this week and the campaigns are in an all-out push for votes in next Tuesday's crucial primary - votes that could determine who will be the next Republican presidential nominee.

And the most important of those ballots will be cast for 54 of the state's delegates to this summer's Republican convention, not one for the one of the three well-known candidates - Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich - remaining in the GOP contest. Instead, voters must chose people whom they might not ever have heard of.

They aren't household names, although they may be known to some voters locally. Like the rank-and-file voters who will elect them, these candidates are regular people with regular jobs, they are party enthusiasts who want to go to the Party's big party in Cleveland this summer.

Most importantly, these delegates are independent, not bound to support any one candidate in Cleveland this summer.
