Author is not known this is an editorial from Pittsburgh Action news.


 

 Tom Wolf is maintaining a 19 point  lead over his closest competitor in Pennsylvania's four-way race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, according to poll results released Wednesday. while everyone else is being blown out of the water. this huge lead was caused by  Wolf's injection of $10 million in his campaign. This  enabled him to launch a statewide TV advertising campaign in late January that gave him an early, sizable lead his opponents have been unable to crack. The others did not begin regular TV spots until seven weeks later. Tom Wolf also is very popular with 33% of democrats like him while other candidates popularity is on the decline. With Time winding down it with only 39% of unregistered voters left it seems that tom wolf has this election in the bag. 


The Question presented in this Article is that Tom wolf has really pulled away from the other candidates due to the amount of money he pumped into his campaign. There results that this article could have is that law makers might limit the amount of money people are allowed to invest in these elections. I learned That wolf's opponents are starting to be perceived negatively. i could use this information to understand in the future why candidates decide to withdraw from elections earlier.  The position  taken by the author is that this election is over and tom wolf has won. The impact of this article could persuade people to vote for tom wolf because he is gonna win regardless.
