Former Pennsylvania Senator and one-time Butler resident Rick Santorum is running for the Republican nomination for President in 2016.
Rick Santorum made the announcement at Penn United Technologies on North Pike Road in Cabot during an event Wednesday night.
His message focused on American workers and families and promised hope, opportunity, and a return to values.
Santorum also pledged to use his experience to “drive a stake into the heart of common core”, defeat the “gathering storm of radical Islam”, help veterans, and “revoke every executive order and regulation that costs American jobs.”
Santorum was actually born in Virginia but lived in Butler for a decade and attended Butler Catholic and Butler High School.
He ran for president in 2012 but eventually fell to GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
