Todd Platts to Retire
Congressman Platts announced on Tuesday, January 17th, that he does not intend to run again for the seat. I applaud his decision to practice what he preached. He submitted a bill for the last several terms that would term limit members of Congress. While he will receive a federal pension, as would any member reaching the term limit in the bills he submitted, he is stepping down and will not be running. Speculation over who might run in the Republican Primary is running wild. I was asked as well by a reporter on who I have heard rumors of running. It does not matter to me who will be running in the Primary Election. The Republican and Democratic Parties have made it difficult for any other party to run candidates, and third party/independents do not participate in the primary election. I look forward to facing whomever passes the primary in the general election in the Fall of 2012!
A volunteer list will soon be compiled for those of you wishing to help me gather signatures. I can begin in February and am looking for more volunteers. If you would like to help, please email me (mike@mikeforpa.com) or my campaign manager Karl Spangler (Karl@Eatatcentral.com) and we will be in touch with you.
For Liberty,
Mike Koffenberger
