FOX CHAPEL, Pa. — The widow of Sen. John Heinz said Friday she won’t run for his former seat.
“The best way for me to contribute is as I always have, as a thinking, practical, nurturing private citizen, working on behalf of Pittsburgh, our state and our nation,” Teresa Heinz said.
Sen. Harris Wofford, a Democrat, holds the seat now. Heinz died in a 1991 plane crash.
