Comments are off

As the November 4 election nears, Republican incumbent Tom Corbett and Democratic candidate Tom Wolf are gaining endorsements from various groups across the state.

Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of abortions in the U.S. and the principal advocate for abortion-on-demand, has released their voter’s guide www.plannedparenthoodpa.org. Planned Parenthood has endorsed Tom Wolf for governor.

The Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, which endorses pro-life candidates, has come out in support of Tom Corbett and has also endorsed pro-life candidates in local races. Their information is available at www.paprolife.org.

The Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, Boilermakers Local 154 and the Laborers’ District Council of Western PA have endorsed Governor Corbett.  Meanwhile the Pennsylvania Conference of Teamsters, the PA State Council of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the PA State Education Association have endorsed Tom Wolf.

The Pennsylvania Family Council has released its comprehensive candidate research at PaFamilyVoter.com.  That research includes a list of endorsements, links to candidate websites and more.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference invited both candidates for Pennsylvania governor to share their views. Incumbent Governor Tom Corbett (Republican) sat down for an in-person interview and completed a written questionnaire. Democratic candidate Tom Wolf declined the PCC’s interview invitation and did not respond to the candidate questionnaire. Information about his views was therefore compiled from his campaign website and public statements. See these resources here.

The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference does not endorse candidates for public office.

Much more information is available on their candidate websites:
