Will Castor Run for the 24th Senatorial District?

STATEMENT FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY COMMISSIONER BRUCE L. CASTOR, JR.
REGARDING PENNSYLVANIA’S 24th SENATE DISTRICT


“Over the las t twenty four hours I have been humbled by contact from many Republican Party leaders and citizens from Montgomery, Bucks, Lehigh and Northampton counties encouraging me to seek the nomination to replace Senator Robert Wonderling in Pennsylvania’s 24th Senate District.

I have had the pleasure of serving Montgomery County residents as an Assistant District Attorney, the District Attorney and now as County Commissioner.

As D.A., I saw laws written and strengthened with my input that helped make streets safer and close loopholes used by criminals to subvert the justice system. As a County Commissioner I know the important role Harrisburg plays in delivering funding and legislation that improve our roads and bridges and make life better for residents in our county.

I am weighing all of these factors and considering whether my experience in government and in the judicial system would offer the best representation to residents of the 24th Senate District. I am continuing to discuss this decision with citizens, Republican Party leaders and my family.

The most important factor in my decision is whether I think I can do more good in Harrisburg then I can in Norristown.”

he is the one that wanted to run for Commisioner to take out Tom Ellis orginally... Looks like we need him stay at the Courthouse and to be "our Watch Dog" don't you think. Plus Bruce is too Good to be one of 50 like a State Senator. He should keep an eye on the court house and the Run for Governor. from an rnotd
