“It’s extremely troubling, yet not surprising that millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf would be politicking and campaigning in City Hall during business hours. Not only is Tom Wolf campaigning behind closed doors during government proceedings with public officials which is in itself of questionable legality, but it also demonstrates a record of poor judgment by Wolf and is made all the more troubling when you consider the news that broke just a few short months ago that four Philadelphia Democratic public officials accepted unreported cash bribes in exchange for votes. Someone should remind millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf that the days of shady backroom deals are over." -- Campaign Manager Mike Barley
