State Sen. Dan Laughlin announced his support for David White, former Delaware County Councilman and business owner, today.
The announcement took place at Team Hardinger Transportation this morning.
“While I am disappointed that my efforts to gain traction and funding in my own race to become Governor have come up short, I feel fortunate that I have found a candidate that shares many of my life experiences and blue-collar attitude,” said Laughlin.
“Dave and I have discussed at great length our plans on how to move Pennsylvania forward and make it an economic powerhouse that will be able to attract businesses to our great Commonwealth. In discussing the specific needs of my district with Dave, he was surprised to learn that Governor Wolf has withheld the economic development tools we need to lift up the poorest zip code in America. He agrees that Erie immediately needs a City Revitalization Improvement Zone,” continued Laughlin.
Laughlin, who launched an exploratory committee for the same position, is foregoing the idea of a Statewide run and remains focused on the needs of his district.
