Republicans Ted Cruz, John Kasich Fight to Court Pennsylvania Conservatives

Republican presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz and John Kasich are scheduled to speak to conservative activists in Pennsylvania with barely three weeks until the state's primary.

Cruz and Kasich were scheduled to speak Friday afternoon at the Pennsylvania Leadership Council, billed as the state's largest annual gathering of conservatives.

Before that, Kasich is holding a town hall-style event in Hershey at the Antique Automobile Club museum.

This is Cruz's first campaign appearance in Pennsylvania, while Kasich has been in the state a couple times already including a Friday stop at the Union League in Philadelphia. Republican front-runner Donald Trump hasn't campaigned in Pennsylvania and the leadership council's president says Trump hasn't taken up an invitation to appear.

Pennsylvania's primary election is April 26, when just 17 Republican delegates are up for grabs on a winner-take-all basis. Voters will elect 54 other unbound delegates.
