    Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is set to visit Allentown on Saturday.

    The Harris-Walz campaign did not release a specific time and location on Tuesday, but said Emhoff would visit Allentown “for Latinos con Harris-Walz events with Pennsylvania Latino leaders and community members.”

    About 54% of the city’s residents were Hispanic or Latino as of the 2020 Census. The 7th Congressional District has the second-highest share of Hispanic or Latino residents in Pennsylvania (21.3% in 2022 Census Bureau estimates) and is home to a tight race between incumbent Democrat Susan Wild and Republican state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.
