Matthews: In For Lt Gov (Again) September 30 2009
“I’m putting my team together shortly. I am going to be a candidate for lieutenant governor,” Jim Matthews, Montgomery County Commissioner, said last night when asked by The Progress about his future plans after his speech in Luthersburg to fellow Republicans.
Matthews was the unsuccessful 2006 Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania as Lynn Swann’s running mate.
As is required by law, we should be expecting to see Commissioner Matthews’ resignation from Montgomery County’s Board of Elections shortly.
In case you missed it, there was a minor kerfuffle last week over the timing of fellow Montco Commissioner Joe Hoeffel’s resignation from the Board of Elections after his announcement.
The linked story is from nearly two weeks ago. I wonder what he’s waiting for.

Being from the sticks, I don’t have nearly the track record with King James that the MontCo crowd does, but I do dislike the guy. At some event during the 2006 campaign I asked him a question about some tax plan he had just discussed. It’s hard to say whether his answer would be better classified as a lie or a dodge, but I didn’t care for it.
