RADNOR, Pa., Oct. 26 (UPI) -- A suburban Philadelphia school district has barred a candidate for Congress from holding a rally with Vice President Joe Biden in the high school gym.
Campaign aides for Bryan Lentz, now a Democratic state representative, told The Philadelphia Inquirer the Radnor school district had given final approval for Wednesday's rally. The campaign announced the rally Saturday, only to be told Monday it was off.
Biden will now be appearing with Lentz at Sulpizio's Gym in Wayne.
"I think the Republicans on the school board arranged for the event to be killed," said Kevin McTigue, Lentz's campaign manager.
Lentz and Patrick Meehan are running for the congressional seat now held by Joe Sestak, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
