Rendell endorses Vilello

Lock Haven Mayor Rick Vilello, one of three Democrats competing for the 5th District congressional nomination, captured the endorsement of Gov. Ed Rendell on Tuesday night.

The governor was quoted in an e-mail sent by the Vilello campaign saying that Vilello would continue the economic development for the 5th District that he has undertaken in the Clinton County city of Lock Haven.

The other Democrats in the 5th District race are Bill Cahir of Bellefonte and Mark McCracken of Clearfield County.

Congrats Rick, I am glad the Gov has recognized you for your tireless efforts to support your regin and make a difference across the State. The endorsement shows great confidence that you will work extremely hard for the entire 5th district as you do for Lock Haven. Something we in Clinton County already know, and are trying to spread this work across the 5th. Your Government experience is second to none.
