| Description | An Iraq war veteran and a former county commissioner say they are planning runs for the open congressional seat of retiring U.S. Rep. John Peterson in central Pennsylvania.
Bill Cahir spent two tours in Iraq with the Marines. He resigned his job Monday as Washington correspondent for the Express-Times of Easton to run for the seat as a Democrat. He said he plans to move to Bellefonte, where he was born.
Republican Chris Exarchos, a former Centre County commissioner, said he has the go-ahead from county Republican Party leaders to run. Peterson is retiring at the end of the year.
Centre County businessman Matt Shaner announced last week he also was seeking the GOP nod to succeed Peterson. |
