Metcalfe to Run for Speaker

A Butler County Republican says he'll be running for speaker of the state House of Representatives when the chamber meets for the first time this year on Tuesday.

Daryl Metcalfe is considered a long shot to defeat the Democratic nominee, Keith McCall of Carbon County, because the Democrats have a five-seat majority in the House.

Metcalfe emphasized fiscal restraint by state government in his announcement today. He says his candidacy will end what he describes as McCall's "fiscally irresponsible coronation process."

Metcalfe has been among the Legislature's most devoted pro-gun figures and has also taken a strong position against illegal immigration.
