RGA Congratulates Governor-Elect Tom Corbett

The Republican Governors Association congratulates Governor-elect Tom Corbett on his election as the next governor of Pennsylvania. The Republican Governors Association was the single largest donor to Tom Corbett’s campaign, investing more than $8 million.

“Tom Corbett ran an outstanding campaign that won the hearts and minds of Pennsylvania voters,” said RGA chairman Haley Barbour. “Pennsylvania was a key battleground for Democrats, so Tom Corbett’s victory has both statewide and national significance. By electing Tom, voters in Pennsylvania showed that they’ve had enough of Democrats’ higher taxes and reckless spending. ”

The Republican Governors Association was the single largest donor to Tom Corbett’s campaign, investing more than $8 million in the overall effort. In addition to helping Corbett maintain a spending advantage on television throughout much of September and October, the RGA invested nearly $2 million in the Pennsylvania Republican Party’s critically important and highly successful get-out-the-vote operations.
