Republican Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta will announce today that he will mount a third run for Congress next year, two party sources familiar with his plans said.
An e-mail from his campaign said he will announce his decision at 10 a.m. through an Internet webcast on his campaign Web site, www.loubarletta.com. Efforts to reach the mayor the past two weeks were unsuccessful. Vince Galko, who managed Mr. Barletta’s campaign last year, declined to comment, but sent the e-mail announcing the webcast.
The e-mail only said Mr. Barletta would announce whether he would run.
