The candidate’s own reply
Ken Krawchuk
The short answer is that I'm running for governor, not president. As such, I have exactly zero authority or control over what happens with any aspect if foreign policy, so there's no point in even mentioning it. I'd only be a kitten mewing in a box: pointless and possibly annoying. The same goes for any Pennsylvania law supporting or opposing any foreign country or national issue that does not directly affect Pennsylvania. To put it colloquially, there're not my clowns, not my circus. I'm a Pennsylvania guy through and through, and only champion Pennsylvania interests. The only issue where the governorship reaches into foreign policy is with the Pennsylvania National Guard. As governor, I'm the commander in chief of the Guard, and I will stand firm against deploying a single Guardsman outside of Pennsylvania unless there is a formal declaration of war (per the U.S. Constitution), but that hasn't happened since World War 2. Hope this helps. Any other questions, please let me know.
