Cranberry firefighter announces state District 12 bid
This story was updated Feb. 7 to reflect the new districts for the state legislature adopted Friday by the Legislative Reapportionment Commission.
CRANBERRY TWP — Nunzio Martin, a volunteer with the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company, who unsuccessfully ran a write-in campaign for the Seneca Valley School District’s board of directors, announced he will run for the state House of Representatives.
Martin said he will run for the District 12 seat, currently occupied by Republican state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, in light of the incumbent’s planned retirement in the fall.
“I’ve always prided myself on giving back to the community, and when I saw Daryl Metcalfe is going to step down — he’s a very conservative person, I like that and I just wanted to keep that going,” Martin said in an interview.
The volunteer firefighter, who works full-time as a database administrator for a health care organization, said he has no aspirations of higher office. Instead, he said, he has specific goals in mind.
