GOVERNOR TOM RIDGE ENDORSES LYNN SWANN

During a statewide campaign swing across Pennsylvania, Swann for Governor today announced it received the endorsement of former Governor Tom Ridge. The Governor has also agreed to join the campaign as Honorary Chairman of Swann for Governor.

“I believe this is one of the most important elections in the history of our state,” said Governor Ridge. “Lynn Swann has what it takes to get Pennsylvania back on track. He has a clear, positive vision for the future, and he stands ready to make the tough decisions we need to help meet the promise of Pennsylvania.”

Ridge joined Swann and his running mate, Jim Matthews, for a day-long, statewide swing stopping in Philadelphia, Scranton, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Erie.

“I am honored to have the support of Governor Tom Ridge as I continue my campaign for change and reform in Pennsylvania,” said Swann. “Governor Ridge has established a legacy of service to our state and to our nation, and he understands what it will take to get Pennsylvania back on track. Under his leadership, our state was making great progress, and I am committed to continuing that progress as Pennsylvania’s next Governor.”

During each stop, Swann outlined his policy proposals to reform Pennsylvania’s property tax system, jump start anemic job creation, establish greater accountability and transparency in state government, and improve Pennsylvania’s education system.
