Bizzarro and McClelland seek Democratic nomination for Pa. treasurer

emocratic voters will choose between State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro (D-Erie) and small business owner Erin McClelland for their party’s nomination for Pennsylvania Treasurer.

The winner will face Republican incumbent Stacy Garrity who is unopposed in the Republican primary. Garrity has held the office since 2020 and will be running for a second and final term.

The state Treasurer is responsible for managing the collection and spending of billions of public dollars — basically, they ensure state revenues make it to the right accounts, and that that money is invested wisely and spent when and where lawmakers and state agencies intend. The Treasurer’s duties also include overseeing investment funds like the ones that pay state employee pensions, and also oversee the distribution of unclaimed property held by the state.

Bizzarro has served in the state House since 2013 and is the chair of the House Democratic Policy Committee. He told the Capital-Star that his experience and networking in government would help him make the office more efficient......

Erin McClelland campaigned on her experience as a small business owner, telling the Capital-Star, “I am the only one in the race that has actually made a payroll as well as worked in the public sector.”
