Turzai Exits Governor Race

Written by Paul Engelkemier, Managing Editor

State House speaker Mike Turzai announced to the Republican State Committee that he is no longer running for Governor.

“Sometimes you have to make a decision, and I am at that point,” Turzai said.

The announcement came before the party voted on an endorsement in the race.

Turzai’s move decreases the number of candidates in the race to three, with only two participating in the endorsement process.

State Senator Scott Wagner and Paul Mango are both continuing forward in the endorsement process, while Laura Ellsworth said she would not participate in the endorsement process.
