SuperPAC to target Tom Corbett on climate change

Link to article: http://www.politicspa.com/pa-gov-environmental-superpac-to-target-tom-corbett/58277/

Summary: A SuperPAC called NextGen Climate Action is a SuperPAC that advocates for politicians who address climate change. The plan of the group is to focus on poorer Pennsylvanians who are affected by pollution as well as young voters who vote infrequently. The SuperPAC consider Corbett to be an extremist on climate change.

The article on Politics PA's website was written by Nick Field and published on May 24, 2014. From the article I learned that Corbett will be targeted by an environmental SuperPAC. The information in this article may be used to show that even though Corbett is running unopposed, he will have to worry about other groups with motivation to expose or attack him. The governor's race might not be as easy as he would have hoped. The author of the article seems to be neutral on the subject, but he does seem to think that Corbett has competition now. The article may benefit Tom Wolf by giving him a key point to mention that Corbett does not believe in climate change. Wolf may greatly benefit from the SuperPAC going after Corbett and he may even address the issue himself.
