Auditor General Jack Wagner has earned a position on the May 18th Democratic primary ballot for Governor by filing his initial collection of nomination petitions this afternoon with the Pennsylvania Department of State.

I am extremely proud of the support that we are receiving from thousands of taxpayers and families across the Commonwealth, said Wagner. Our message of major reforms in state government such as eliminating bonuses, passing budgets on time, making the contract process competitive, ending risky interest rate swaps, and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse is resonating in all parts of the state. This initial filing represents very hard work in many of Pennsylvania’s smaller counties, and I want to particularly take notice this weekend of their steadfast efforts and thank them for a job very well done. I believe that every county will be important to us in winning in May, and again in November.
