12th Congressional District Highest Percentage Of Elderly Voters

EBENSBURG, Pa. —

With Election Day nearing, all eyes are on the polls, and in the 12th Congressional District polls are pointing toward senior citizens. The district has the highest percentage of elderly voters

WJAC-TV went to the senior center in Ebensburg Wednesday to find out what seniors think.

Most seniors Wednesday feel politicians aren't fighting for their vote.

Mary Lauer of Ebensburg said, "They are going for young people, but there's a lot of seniors going to vote."

Many of the seniors in Cambria County worry about the same issues.

Ebensburg resident Spero Tsikalas said, "I think health care's the number one. It's tough especially for senior citizens. There isn't anybody who's over 65 who isn't taking a lot of medications."

Seniors complained there's too much criticizing and not enough on the issues.

Leona Noel of Munster said, "I think it's getting worse when it comes to voting anymore, because they don't say what they stand for. It's always these half truths and the accusations are getting very confusing."
