Senate hopeful speaks with local leaders
CRANBERRY TWP — U.S. Senate candidate George Bochetto spoke with public officials in Butler County Thursday as he makes his way around the state.
Bochetto, a Republican, is part of a crowded field seeking the nomination for retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey’s seat. He entered the race in January after making a career in Philadelphia as an attorney who often served on high-profile cases.
Thursday morning he met with various office-holders in Zelienople and Cranberry Township, introducing himself and explaining his reasons to run for public office.
“I’m here because I’m appalled at where our country is going and the kind of leadership and lack of leadership that is in Washington right now, and I’m here to stand up to the craziness and start backing the values, the core values that are so important to our country,” Bochetto said in an interview.
