The 2014 general election will be held on Nov. 4, but other than the governor’s race all the key races in western Pennsylvania have little to no competition. Most of the competitive races were in the Primaries.
However, the Pennsylvania governor’s seat is up for grabs and it could be the first time in a long, long time in the history of the state that an incumbent is defeated.
Democrat Tom Wolf is actually ahead of incumbent Republican Tom Corbett in the polls. But just as they say in sports, anything can happen, that’s why they play the game. Well in this critical election anything can happen because polls have been wrong before.
This was a tough choice because Corbett on the whole has been fair when it comes to the Black community but we feel Wolf would be much more proactive in helping the Black community move forward.
In an Editorial Board meeting during the Spring, Wolfe made it clear that diversity would be a priority in his administration, and instead of holding someone else accountable for it, the buck would stop with him, because as the head, he would work directly with the person he put in charge. “Because that’s how important diversity is to me,” he said.
