Summary: Tom Wolf's spending on commercials to spread his image has paid off. Wolf won the primary after greatly overspending his competitors. He gained 58% of the vote. At his victory rally Wolf publicly criticized Tom Corbett and focused his speech on education reform. Wolf supports restoring funding the money cut from public schools by taxing gas extraction, like all of the Democrats. None of the Democrats lingered on their loss. They all have spoken about defeating Corbett and their willingness to rally behind Wolf to do just that.

The article in the Wall Street Journal by Kris Maher was published May 21, 2014. It was about Wolf's win in the primary election for governor in Pennsylvania. I learned that Wolf's large budget has been attributed to his victory. This information could be used to show that a large budget makes a big difference during elections by helping to spread information about a candidate to as many people as possible. The author of the article seems to be neutral on the subject. The article can be used to show future politicians that they need a lot of support to have any chance of winning elections, or at least a lot of cash.
