Rep. Samuel E. Rohrer, R-Berks, is considering a bid for the Republican
nomination for governor.
Mr. Rohrer, an economic conservative first elected to the House in 1992, said
he would make a final decision on the race within three weeks, and that it was
"more likely than not,'' that he would go ahead with his candidacy. The Eastern
Pennsylvania lawmaker would be the third contender in the GOP field, along with
Attorney General Tom Corbett, and Rep. Jim Gerlach, a Chester County
congressman.
"Being in the House as long as I have been ... has given me a breadth of
experience that is different that the others,'' Mr. Rohrer said. "I have
concentrated my time, not solely but significantly, on the financial and
economic side of the equation.''
"I am a constitutional Republican, that's how I describe myself,'' he
added.
