HARRISBURG, PA – Corbett-Cawley Campaign Manager Mike Barley released the following statement in reaction to tonight's Democratic Gubernatorial Debate in Philadelphia.

"The lackluster Democratic candidates for governor continue to prove they have no new ideas for Pennsylvania's future besides more of the same failed big government policies that left high unemployment and a $4.2 billion budget deficit. Our opponents, including extreme liberal Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz and Secretary Tom Wolf, who want to impose massive tax increases have made it clear they hope to export the extreme and out-of-touch Obama agenda to Harrisburg."

"Governor Tom Corbett continues to fight for all Pennsylvanians, reducing the size of government, investing more responsibly, keeping taxes low and creating an economic climate where the private sector has created over 150,000 jobs. In a second term, Governor Corbett will continue to deliver the 'Less Taxes, More Jobs' approach that is putting Pennsylvania on a path to a brighter future."
