Committee members from the state Republican Party will meet Saturday in Lebanon County to choose who will be on the ballot in the special election for the 48th state Senate District, scheduled for the same day as the May 18 municipal primary.
Nine people announced their intentions to snag the Republican nomination after the late Sen. Dave Arnold Jr., R-Lebanon, died of cancer in January.
One of the candidates, Arnold's former chief of staff Gregory Moreland, has been making the rounds in the district to pitch himself as the best person for the job.
"My staff positions have afforded me the opportunity to become intimately familiar with the legislative process, and I feel that really allows me to be effective from day one," Moreland told the Newberry Township Board of Supervisors last month.
