Harrisburg - The Northeast Caucus of the Republican State Committee met today and voted 21-0 to support Attorney General Tom Corbett for Governor.

"I am honored to receive such overwhelming support from the members of the Northeast Caucus," said Corbett.  "While our state is facing many great economic challenges, we have an important opportunity to set a new course for Pennsylvania's future by reducing state spending and cutting government waste, creating family sustaining jobs and bringing accountability to state government."

Corbett recently earned the support of the Republican State Committee Central, Northwest and Southwest Caucuses.

At his announcement for Governor in September Tom Corbett outlined the need to reduce the tax burden on Pennsylvania's families and change the culture in Harrisburg, including reforming legislative WAMs.

Tom Corbett was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He married his college sweetheart Susan Manbeck Corbett. They are the proud parents of two grown children Tom and Katherine. He has served as Pennsylvania Attorney General since 2005.  For a full biography, please visit www.tomcorbettforgovernor.com.
