PENNSYLVANIA – Today, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party issued the following statement on Speaker Mike Turzai’s retirement:
“Turzai’s not riding into the sunset, he’s running away from a tough re-election campaign and toward a cushy private-sector job,” said Pennsylvania Democratic Party Executive Director Sinceré Harris. “Turzai has spent his career putting the wealthiest special interests before Pennsylvania’s working families. He has kept our minimum wage the lowest in the nation, worked to sabotage our public schools and tried to silence Pennsylvania voters to rig elections for his own party. Mike Turzai has been the enemy of progress in Pennsylvania. Good riddance.“
