D. Raja, Sue Means and Mark Mustio are competing in the April 24 primary for the nomination.
Three Republican candidates will vie for Pennsylvania Sen. John Pippy's seat in the state's 37th Senatorial District.

The congressman's announcement was made after Allegheny Councilman Vince Gastgeb ended a five-day campaign for the seat in the 37th senatorial district.
Pennsylvania Rep. Mark Mustio, R-Moon, said he will vie for departing Sen. John Pippy's seat in the November race. Mustio's bid for the 37th state senatorial district comes on the heels of Allegheny Councilman Vince Gastgeb's announcement that he will end his campaign for Pippy's seat just five days after it began. Mustio, who last week endorsed Gastgeb, said he chose to enter the race after the county councilman said he would no longer seek the position. Pippy, of Moon, said last week that he will not run for re-election. "Yes it is [a result of Gastgeb's departure]," Mustio said. "There were people who had approached me about it along the way. Me and [State Rep. and Pennsylvania auditor general candidate] John Maher and Vince [Gastgeb] …

Candidates and campaign workers today are staked out at polling locations in Moon and Crescent, where many said voter turnout has been moderate.

The board also approved the purchase of a replacement boiler system for a township building.
Greenlea Drive resident Nelson Kletzly last night told the Moon Township Board of Supervisors that the opening of a group residence this year in his neighborhood will impact his vote in the Nov. 8 municipal election. "Next Tuesday is our big day: We all get to exercise our right to vote, and I've heard a lot of people say they've forgotten about things that have happened here in the township," Kletzly said. Kletzly and others protested the opening of a group residence on Greenlea Drive that houses residents who have been diagnosed with mental illnesses, calling for public officials to stop the opening of the home. Township officials, meanwhile, have said that nothing could legally be done to shutter the home. Two seats on the board will …
