Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, a Democrat, has nominated Timothy Reese to be the new state treasurer. Reese is a registered independent. Treasurer is an elected partisan office in Pennsylvania, and if Reese wishes to run for re-election, he will do so in 2016. See this story. Thanks to Michael for the link.
It’s always a good idea when the previous treasurer is convicted of extortion and facing a 40-year sentence and/or $500,000 fine to distance yourself by going outside the party.
Should be interesting when the other shoe drops on the Attorney General.
