Erin McClelland, who has worked for the Allegheny County Department of Human Services, will face Republican incumbent Stacy Garrity in November. McClelland said the win stunned her.
Erin McClelland scored an upset win in the Democratic primary for state treasurer, defeating the party-backed candidate, State Rep. Ryan Bizzarro .
A resident of the Pittsburgh suburbs, McClelland has worked in mental health and substance-abuse treatment, most recently for the Allegheny County Department of Human Services. She argued that her experience prepared her to manage Pennsylvania’s finances and pledged not to invest the state’s pension funds in foreign holdings.
”This is a really important statement from the voters about the voice of women,” she said. “We talk about how we want their votes, but it’s really important to have their voice.” “While the results were not what I expected or hoped for, I respect the voters’ choice,” Bizzarro added.
