  • 1996 Row Office Elections
    1996 Row Office Elections May 2000 Pennsylvania elects relatively few statewide officials. Appellate court elections aside, only three state officials are elected other than the governor and lieutenant governor. These officials-- auditor general, attorney general, and treasurer--are important political as well as government leaders. Many of them use their statewide name recognition and influence to seek either a governorship or a U.S. Senate post. For example, then Auditor General Barbara Hafer ran for governor in 1990 against Bob Casey. Casey himself had served as auditor general before he was elected governor in 1986. Former State Treasurer Catherine Baker Knoll sought the governorship in 1994. In 1986, Auditor General Don Bailey ran for the U.S. Senate and lost in the Democratic primary. The elections for these “row offices” take place at the same time as the presidential elections. The term for each office is four years, and an incumbent is constitutionally limited to serving two terms. The auditor general ensures that public revenues are deposited and spent according to their legal purposes. In 1996, the office conducted approximately 6,500 audits of various state and local school district operations. The treasurer handles the revenues of the Commonwealth, deposits them in approved state depositories, invests some assets in short-term securities, and disburses Commonwealth funds to those properly entitled to receive them. The attorney general empanels grand juries, oversees criminal and civil prosecutions, and prosecutes consumer, public corruption, and drug cases. To set the stage for the 2000 “row office” elections, an analysis of the 1996 campaigns and elections appear below.

  • Rendell's Dilemma May 05, 2005 by Dr
    Rendell's Dilemma May 05, 2005 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young Will he or won’t he? It is now Harrisburg’s most persistent political question. Will governor Rendell drop Catherine Baker Knoll, his running mate in 2002 from the ticket when he stands for re-election next year? The issue of Knoll poses an acute dilemma for Rendell. He really doesn’t want to remove her from the ticket-- and he really, really, doesn’t want the hassle that comes with it. Knoll has issued public statements that she will seek reelection and so removing her will be fraught with controversy. He much prefers to avoid the strife, maintain the friendships and avoid the internal political rupture. In 2002, Rendell endorsed no one, concentrating instead on his tough primary challenge against Bob Casey. By default, the widely known Knoll won the Democratic Lieutenant Governor nomination in a multi-field contest. Given his druthers, Rendell would do it the same way in 2006. But he can’t. It’s not an option this time. The chances are reasonably high that Rendell’s Lt. Governor in a second term could be asked to lead the state for considerable periods of time. In fact, Pennsylvania’s last two Lt. Governors did so. Now, who would run the state in Rendell’s absence is a matter of some consequence. Moreover, Knoll has now become an issue. Fairly or unfairly, her performance in office has been widely criticized. She is fair game in a re-election contest, and Rendell’s GOP opponents can be expected to make the most of their opportunity.
