Pennsylvania Gubernatorial Race Centers on Regulation and Agricultural Policy
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Stacy Garrity, the Republican candidate for governor, held a campaign stop in Altoona, where she spoke about small businesses struggling with overregulation and rising costs. During the event, a local butcher noted that increased prices and regulations have inhibited the ability of his shop to hire or grow. Garrity and her running mate, Jason Richey, have also emphasized agricultural policy, promising to eliminate government red tape and unlock capital for new farmers in Pennsylvania.
