First Lady Comes To Philadelphia To Campaign For Tom Wolf
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A well-traveled first lady Michelle Obama is coming to Pennsylvania to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf and rally voters in the party's stronghold of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Obama will speak Wednesday at the Dorothy Emanuel Recreation Center in northwest Philadelphia.
The first-time candidate Wolf is leading Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in independent polls as the businessman tries to break a four-decade tradition of governors winning a second term.
Corbett is Pennsylvania's former two-term attorney general from Pittsburgh. Wolf ran his family's York-based building products supply business for about three decades. Both are 65.
The first lady is burning up the campaign trail, making stops this month for Democratic candidates for governor or U.S. Senate in Florida, Massachusetts, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois.
The election is Nov. 4.
