"She has been all over PA, and the only area she hasn't visited is the north west," said Erie County Democratic Party Chairman Sam Talarico. "I know we've been on the radar, we know it's going to be a close election state wide. We know it's going to be a close election in Erie County, so every little thing helps and this isn't a little thing. This is a big thing and we're hoping it will boost excitement even more."
