Pa. Governor Candidates Detail
State Attorney General Mike
Fisher was endorsed for the Re
publican State Committee of
Pennsylvania Feb. 9.
Fisher, who did not speak at
the Cornucopia, noted in his
Website address (www.mike

general, he “will have no higher
priority than protecting our
families from crime and drugs,”
he wrote. “But, in the midst of
these tough economic times, our
next governor needs to be
equally committed to protecting
our jobs and improving our
economy. Our next governor
also needs to be committed to
improving our public education
system and fixing our school
funding crisis by providing real
property tax relief.”
