| Description | Receiving no objection from Gov. Rendell, former U.S. Rep. Joseph Hoeffel said yesterday he would move ahead with his planned campaign for lieutenant governor.
Hoeffel said Rendell, in a private meeting on Wednesday, made no attempt to dissuade him from taking on Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll in the Democratic primary.
He said he would not run over "the governor's active objections."
"He said he is endorsing Catherine, but he is not urging me to drop out," Hoeffel said of Rendell. "We had a productive discussion, and I am moving forward."
Hoeffel - who said he and Rendell have been "friends and allies for 30 years" - said he had begun circulating petitions, raising money and hiring staff and that he intended to make a formal announcement in the next few weeks.
Rendell's campaign manager, Tricia Enright, confirmed that the governor, in his conversation with Hoeffel, "neither encouraged nor discouraged" him from running. |
