Rothfus, R-12, Sewickley, who has long argued for repealing the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was invited by organizers “to share his plan to keep them and their loved ones covered,” according to an email from SEIU Healthcare PA, which represents nurses and other health-care workers in the state.

Karen Gownley, a spokeswoman for SEIU Healthcare PA, said Rothfus did not respond to the invitation by Feb. 15 as requested. As of Monday, Gownley said about 160 people had committed to attend the event.

Rothfus' office did not respond to a message seeking comment on Monday, a federal holiday.

A similar town hall in Allentown is being held Tuesday night to which U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh County, has been invited, said the Pennsylvania Health Access Network in a subsequent email.
