Montgomery Co. Commissioner Declares Run for Governor
Joe Gale, a Montgomery County commissioner who says he wants to roll back Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law, announced on Tuesday that he will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2022.
The Montgomery County native is the first candidate from either major party to publicly say he’ll run for governor in next year’s midterm elections. The state constitution prevents Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, from seeking a third term.
Gale announced his campaign in a press release where he branded himself as an anti-establishment candidate and Trumpian stalwart who could lead Republican candidates to victory in the 2022 midterm elections.
“We cannot allow the other top-of-the-ticket race in 2022 to fall into the hands of the Republican Party establishment and the ring-kissing candidates they control, influence and endorse,” Gale said in a statement announcing his run.
In his Tuesday op-ed, Gale said that his brother, Sean Gale, will be running for U.S. Senate with a similar platform and a like-minded mission to build on Trump’s legacy in Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania.
“In both the gubernatorial race and U.S. Senate race, we are all that stands between the conservative Republican voters of Pennsylvania and the insidious GOP establishment swamp,” Gale said.
