Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
U.S.
Rep. Allyson Schwartz launched her campaign for the 2014 Democratic
nomination for governor Monday, declaring that Gov. Corbett’s “failed
leadership” has crippled the Pennsylvania economy in a competitive
world.
“He’s
just missing in action most of the time,” Schwartz, of Montgomery
County, said in an interview. She noted that the state’s unemployment
rate has been well above the national average during Corbett’s term.
“What I’m hearing from people around the state is that they know we need
a fresh perspective about the economy and growth.”
Schwartz,
64, argues her experience in Washington and Harrisburg makes her the
strongest potential nominee to challenge Corbett. The governor’s
approval rating in independent public polls is at a historic low, though
Pennsylvania voters have yet to turn down an incumbent chief executive
seeking a second term.
