State Rep. Mark Mustio, R-North Fayette, will once again try to replace state Sen. John Pippy, R-Moon.
Mr. Mustio, 54, announced Monday that he will run for Mr. Pippy's 37th District Senate seat, after Allegheny County Councilman Vince Gastgeb, R-Bethel Park, backed out of his announced run. Mr. Mustio got his start in Harrisburg in a 2003 special election to replace Mr. Pippy in the 44th state House seat after he moved to the upper chamber.
Mr. Pippy announced last week that he would not seek another term in the Senate district, which represents Allegheny and Washington counties.
Gun rights activist Kim Stolfer of South Fayette is also running for the GOP nod. The primary is set for April 24.
