http://www.robmccord.com/about-rob/Excerpt:
"McCord has also led a record-breaking turnaround in investments in one of the most challenging markets in history. Under his leadership, Treasury generated historically strong investment returns and more than $2.1 billion for the state, and McCord helped generate many billions more in returns for the states two large pension funds.
McCord also repaired the $1.5 billion PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan, taking it from 70 percent to 100 percent funded in three years, making college more accessible for families across the state.
As governor, McCord will continue to use his experience and expertise to make smart investments to support Pennsylvanias middle class families, starting with investing in education. Hell reverse the devastating cuts made by Governor Corbett to the K-12 system, hell continue to make sure students can afford higher education, and hell give families more access to high-quality early learning programs.
McCord will also work to support Pennsylvanias seniors by protecting their pensions, helping them stay in their homes in their later years, and making sure they have access to the in-home care they need."

We'll see how things develop of the next few months.

(28,394 posts)2. Same here.
Or maybe I just think he has the best chance of beating corbutt. I also like Allyson Schwartz, but I don't think she is well-known enough across the state.
I like Wolf, I like Schwartz. The fracking moratorium thing tipped me.
I don't like "voting scared," i.e. voting for the one people say has the best chance to beat Corbett rather than the one I like on the issues. Of course, I'll vote for whatever Dem wins the primary against Gashole, and I won't have to pinch my nose when I do it.
