Pro-Trump Republican Lou Barletta Announces Run for Pennsylvania Governor
Former Congressman Lou Barletta, who challenged Democrat Senator Bob Casey in 2018, is running for governor of Pennsylvania.

“These politicians, and I’m talking about Gov. Wolf and the Harrisburg insiders, they had a disastrous response to the pandemic,” he added, “Tom Wolf has blood on his hands for sentencing our seniors to die in nursing homes.”
Barletta’s campaign will focus strongly on boosting Pennsylvania’s economy, overhauling state election laws and fighting against illegal immigration.
Lou Barletta is a former mayor of Hazleton, PA and four-term member of Congress who ran statewide in a 2018 against Bob Casey receiving 2.1 million votes. Barletta also served as President Trump’s campaign co-chairman in Pennsylvania in 2016.
