In these volatile economic times, it's important that Pennsylvania have an experienced Treasurer to handle the state's finances. Democratic candidate Rob McCord is that person.
As a venture capitalist, expert on budget and regulatory issues, and business leader, McCord has the economic savvy necessary to bring jobs to Pennsylvania, prudently manage state assets, and pursue policies that will put the state back on sound fiscal footing.
All three candidates - especially Republican Tom Ellis - are dedicated to transparency and cutting wasteful spending. But McCord's past experience in politics and finance makes him a more effective agent of reform. We endorse him for Pennsylvania Treasurer.
