Lentz headed to the White House Monday

State Representative Bryan Lentz (D-Delaware) will get a nice photo-op Monday, when he joins “select group” of energy policy leaders at the White House to discuss policy with Obama administration officials.

Lentz’s office announced his invitation to the White House Friday morning, though few details were provided. Regardless, it will be a chance for the 7th Congressional District hopeful to showcase his environmental bonafides ahead of next year’s primary.

“This is an excellent opportunity to represent Pennsylvania and Delaware county at the White House in a important discussion about job creation, the environment and national security as they relate to our nation’s energy future,” Lentz said in a statement.

Lentz is the sole Democratic candidate to say he is definitely running to succeed Congressman Joe Sestak (D-7), but state Representative Greg Vitali (D-Delaware) may also enter the race. With former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan almost definitely running for the Republican nomination, it is expected to be one of the most competitive House races in the country.
