Description | The head of the newly opened National Constitution Center is quitting at the end of this year to possibly make a run for the 13th Congressional District.
Joseph M. Torsella, who performed much of the fund-raising and other heavy lifting that got the $140 million building open July Fourth, announced yesterday that he plans to step down when his contract ends in December.
Torsella, 39, a Democrat who lives in Flourtown, said he is considering joining the crowded group of candidates running for the 13th District seat being vacated by U.S. Rep. Joe Hoeffel. The district takes in most of Northeast Philadelphia and eastern Montgomery County. Hoeffel, a Democrat, plans to run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter next year.
