State Rep. Tom Killion has made official what has been whispered in Delco political circles for weeks: He wants to be lieutenant governor.
Killion, R-168, formally announced Tuesday that he has formed a state committee to explore a run for lieutenant governor in 2010. Killion said he has been encouraged by the feedback he has received from state and local elected officials, supporters, and party leaders.
“Pennsylvania is facing many critical challenges in the coming years and the 2010 election cycle is going to determine how we address these issues,” said Killion. “I believe strongly that we need to maintain fiscal responsibility on the state level while creating a better economic environment that allows businesses to grow, flourish, and create new jobs.”
