HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A health care systems consultant from suburban Pittsburgh who is a newcomer to politics is considering running for the Republican nomination for governor.
A spokesman said Monday that Paul Mango is hiring veteran campaign staff and is touring the state meeting with GOP officials, business groups and public officials. On Monday morning, Mango addressed a county commissioners gathering in Harrisburg.
Spokesman John Brabender says Mango is going through the process of doing what is necessary to decide whether to run. A decision could come in the next couple months.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is running for a second four-year term.
Republican state Sen. Scott Wagner of York County is also seeking the GOP nomination to challenge Wolf’s re-election bid in 2018.
