(Harrisburg) — A northern Pennsylvania woman who is a longtime executive for a powdered metals supplier and ran a detention center in Iraq as an Army reservist will seek the Republican nomination to run for state treasurer.

Stacy Garrity announced her candidacy Thursday.  The primary is April 28.

Democrat Joe Torsella, elected in 2016, is seeking a second four-year term.

The 55-year-old Garrity is trained as an accountant and is a vice president at Pennsylvania-based Global Tungsten & Powders Corp.

She retired in 2016 from the Army Reserves.

In Iraq, Garrity ran the detention center at Camp Bucca, as part of the 800th Military Police Brigade.
