The Candidates

Governor:

Tom Wolf (D) Tom Wolf will invest in public schools by giving them fair funding. He is committed to providing every student in Pennsylvania with a world-class education that teaches them the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. He will fight to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 because he believes that when you pay workers well and provide good benefits, everyone wins. As Governor, Tom Wolf will veto any legislation that restricts the rights of workers. He believes workers have the right to unionize and bargain collectively for a better life.

Governor Tom Corbett (R) Tom Corbett has cut public school funding by $1 billion – denying students across the Commonwealth access to a quality education and forcing communities to raise property taxes. His policies have taken Pennsylvania from 7th to 41st in job creation; nearly 500,000 Pennsylvanians are unemployed. He supports a risky scheme to privatize the liquor industry – a move which would cost Pennsylvania 5,000 family sustaining jobs and $500 million a year in much-needed revenue.
