Corbett-Cawley Campaign Manager Mike Barley released the following statement regarding Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz latest television ad and MSNBC appearance, fully embracing the ObamaCare legislative disaster in the Democratic primary for governor:
"Despite cancelled policies, skyrocketing premiums, lost doctors and jobs, Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz has turned her back on Pennsylvania for good," said Barley. "Congresswoman Schwartz has embraced an extreme liberal agenda in Washington, DC and the disastrous healthcare takeover she helped to write and force upon hardworking Pennsylvanians. Now Congresswoman Schwartz hopes to bring those failed budget-busting Obama policies to Harrisburg, proving just how out of touch she is with the people of Pennsylvania."
