Tom wolf won by a comfortable margin winning almost 55 percent of the votes and tom corbett made history but probably not in the way he had hoped. Corbett has become the first governor to lose reelection in the states modern history. Wolf, a businessman and first time candidate, spent 10 million of his own money on an early Tv Ad Campaign that endeared him to voters. Last night he drove to his victory rally as you saw in his hometown of york in his trademark jeep. He told supporter that is Public Education will be his top on his agenda. Our ancestors realized that education was the key to a strong citizenship, to a strong democracy, to a strong economy, to Strong Families and we needed to invest in that. We need to make sure that we resurrect that idea here in pennsylvania and make sure that education is at the top of the list, not the bottom.
