Main Line businessman Bob Guzzardi has announced that he will be taking on Gov. Tom Corbett in the Republican primary, May 20.

Guzzardi notes that  Corbett is expected to be the first incumbent to lose Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial race since 1854, and that Pennsylvania Republicans need a chance to choose an alternative.

Guzzardi is the first to announce a primary challenge to Corbett.

He cites Corbett’s $2.4 billion annual tax increase and his looming general election defeat as his reasons for running along with the governor’s many failures  such as the inability to privatize liquor sales or pass meaningful prevailing wage reform.

“The contest is between the Forgotten Taxpayer who works, saves and invests to raise the standard of living for all and the establishment insiders who use government for their own financial benefit or who want power,” Guzzardi said.

Guzzardi said that his platform will include true state pension reform; expanding Marcellus Shale natural gas production to lower energy costs, create productive jobs and raise the standard of living for all; and vouchers for all students — not just those living in Philadelphia or low economic areas.
