| Description | Trebek, a native Canadian who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998, will moderate a 45-minute debate among Pennsylvania’s 2018 gubernatorial candidates as part of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry’s annual dinner Oct. 1 at the Hershey Lodge in Dauphin County.
Invitations will be extended to all the major candidates, including Democratic incumbent Tom Wolf and the winner of a Republican primary that includes attorney Laura Ellsworth, businessman Paul Mango and state Sen. Scott Wagner. It’s unclear if Libertarian Party candidate Ken Krawchuk will be invited to participate.
“Unlike some of the other moderators — I’m not going to disparage them — but I have a different approach,” Trebek told The Hill in 2013 about his desire to moderate a political debate. “I would not let the politicians get away with standard responses. I would try to pin them down, even though I might look bad doing it.” |
