LET ME START BY SAYING THAT YOU WILL BE GETTING DINNER THIS EVENING. RICK HAS ALLOWED ME TO 1 Page 5 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu EXPERIENCED DOWN HERE--1 THOUGHT ALL HIS TALK ABOUT THE DANGERS OF "GLOBAL WARNING" WAS A LOT OF BUNK. BUT AFTER THIS LAST WEEK, l'M BEGINNING TO CHANGE MY MIND. ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT THINGS ARE GETTING WARM AND STICKY FOR A WHOLE LOT OF ------.------DEMOCRATS--AND THE TEMPERATURE WILL CONTINUE TO RISE ALL THE WAY 3 Page 6 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu SPEAK BEFORE DINNER, AS I'll BE ATTENDING THE PHILADELPHIA SALVATION ARMY BANQUET LATER THIS EVENING--SO I PROMISE TO BE BRIEF. I WANT TO BE MY USUAL NON- PARTISAN SELF AND ADMIT THAT VICE PRESIDENT GORE MAY ACTUALLY BE RIGHT ON AN ISSUE. BACK DURING THE HORRIBLE WINTER WE HAD IN WASHINGTON--AND I KNOW YOU 2 Page 7 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu TO NOVEMBER. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THIS IS AN EXCITING TIME TO BE A REPUBLICAN. JUST LOOK AT ALL THAT'S HAPPENED SINCE BILL CLINTON WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN SENATE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA AND TEXAS ... GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS IN NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA. U.S. HOUSE 4 Page 8 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS IN OKLAHOMA AND KENTUCKY. MAYORAL ELECTIONS IN LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK. AND A LT. GOVERNOR'S ELECTION IN ARKANSAS. A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, ALL OF THOSE OFFICES WERE HELD BY DEMOCRATS. AND NOW, ALL NINE ARE HELD BY REPUBLICANS. 5 Page 9 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND, OF COURSE, REPUBLICANS ALSO WON A BIG, BIG, VICTORY HERE IN THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SENATE. NOW, I DON'T EXPECT REPUBLICANS TO WIN EVERY ELECTION THIS NOVEMBER. BUT I KNOW THAT TWO OF OUR WINNERS WILL BE RICK SANTORUM AND TOM RIDGE. 6 Page 10 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO SQUABBLE OVER WHO WILL SUCCEED GEORGE MITCHELL AS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER. WELL, LET ME SHARE A LITTLE SECRET WITH YOU. IF RICK SATORUM IS ELECTED TO THE SENATE, THEN YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING AT THE NEXT SENATE MAJORITY LEADER. 7 Page 11 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu OUR MOTTO IS "SEVEN MORE IN 94." IF WE CAN GAIN SEVEN SEATS THIS NOVEMBER, THEN WE WILL HAVE 51 SENATORS, AND REPUBLICANS WILL SET THE AGENDA IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. I SAW A POLL LAST FRIDAY, WHERE PEOPLE WERE ASKED "HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE DIRECTION THE UNITED STATES IS TAKING?" 8 Page 12 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND ONLY 28% SAID THAT AMERICA WAS HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AND 65% SAID WE WERE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. I WANT TO CHANGE THAT. AND RICK SANTORUM WANTS TO CHANGE THAT. AND WHILE I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS PERFECT, I BELEIVE THAT IF BOB DOLE IS 9 Page 13 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu SENATE MAJORITY LEADER AND NEWT GINGRICH IS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, THEN WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TURNING AMERICA IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.- INSTEAD OF PASSING THE LARGEST TAX INCERASE IN HISTORY, WE WILL HAVE A CUT IN THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX RATE. 10 Page 14 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu INSTEAD OF INCREASING SPENDING, WE'D HAVE A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT AND THE LINE ITEM VETO. INSTEAD OF BIGGER GOVERNMENT, WE'D CUT REGULATIONS AND WE'D CUT GOVERNMENT MANDATES. AND INSTEAD OF TURNING 100% OF OUR HEAL TH CARE SYSTEM OVER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, WE'D FOCUS 11 Page 15 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu ON THE 15% THAT NEEDS FIXING. AND EVERYONE HERE KNOWS THAT HEAL TH CARE WILL BE A BIG, BIG, ISSUE IN THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATE ELECTION. AS THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SAID LAST FRIDAY, RICK SANTORUM IS CHALLENGING THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM THAT REPUBLICANS CAN'T RUN AGAINST DEMOCRATS ON HEALTH CARE. 12 Page 16 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND SO FAR "PHILADELPHIA'S LIBERTY BELL HASN'T CRACKED AGAIN ... AND SANTORUM HAS CLIMBED FROM NOWHERE TO WITHIN A FEW POINTS OF SENATOR WOFFORD ... " AND RICK IS GOING TO KEEP RIGHT -ON CLIMBING, BECAUSE SENATOR WOFFORD AND THE DEMOCRATS CAN'T HIDE FROM THE FACT THAT BELIEVED AMERICANS WERE CRYING OUT FOR A 13 Page 17 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu MASSIVE NEW GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY TO MAKE THEIR HEAL TH CARE DECISIONS FOR THEM. RICK SANTORUM KNOWS BETTER, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW BETTER. OUR HEAL TH CARE SYSTEM IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. PEOPLE COME FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE TO HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS LIKE THOSE IN 14 Page 18 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu PHILADELPHIA TO RECEIVE CARE AND TO STUDY. YES, OUR SYSTEM DOES HAVE PROBLEMS. AND WE CAN FIX THESE PROBLEMS BY MAKING CHANGES IN POOLING, PORTABILITY, PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS, AND MALPRACTICE LIABILITY REFORM. AS A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, RICK 15 Page 19 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu HAS BEEN OUT FRONT AS A LEADER ON ISSUES LIKE HEAL TH CARE REFORM, AND WELFARE REFORM. LET ME FINISH BY SAYING THAT REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE WILL ALSO MOVE AMERICA IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BY ENSURING THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. 16 Page 20 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS HONORED TO ATTEND THE CEREMONIES IN FRANCE AND ITALY HONORING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY. THERE WERE A LOT OF WORLD LEADERS THERE. BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PRESIDENTS AND PRIME MINISTERS WERE THE SOLDIERS WHO RETURNED ... THE SOLDIERS WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES FOR FREEDOM. AND, OF 17 Page 21 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu COURSE, THERE WERE ALSO THE SOLDIERS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES ... THE ENDLESS ROWS OF WHITE CROSSES THAT MARKED THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF THOSE WHO NEVER CAME HOME. D-DAY MARKED MORE THAN THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF WORLD WAR II. IT ALSO MARKED THE BEGINNING OF WHAT HAS BEEN--UNDER REPUBLICAN 18 Page 22 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTS ALIKE--A HALF-CENTURY OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP THAT REBUILT EUROPE AFTER WORLD WAR II. IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP THAT STOOD FOR FREEDOM IN PLACES LIKE KOREA AND VIETNAM. IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP 19 Page 23 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu THAT STOOD GUARD IN EUROPE AND AROUND THE WORLD THROUGHOUT THE LONG COLD WAR. IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP THAT HAS KEPT ALIVE ANY HOPE FOR PEACE IN THE MIDEAST. IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP THAT KEPT SADDAM HUSSEIN FROM CONTROLLING THE WORLD'S OIL SUPPLY. HAS THIS LEADERSHIP BEEN 20 Page 24 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu EXPENSIVE? YOU BET IT HAS--BOTH IN TERMS OF LIVES LOST AND MONEY SPENT IN BATTLE AND IN STANDING GUARD DURING THE LONG COLD WAR. BUT HAS THIS LEADERSHIP BEEN WORTH THE COST? ABSOLUTELY. THE WORLD IS A SAFER, FREER, AND BETTER PLACE BECAUSE OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS 21 Page 25 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu WE MEET HERE THIS EVENING, I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF SOME IN THIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE THEIR WAY, THE ERA OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP WILL COME TO AN END. THERE ARE SOME IN THIS ADMINISTRATION WHO THINK THAT AMERICA SHOULD NO LONGER BE THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD. THERE ARE THOSE WHO THINK 22 Page 26 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu THAT AMERICA MUST FOCUS SOLELY ON FIXING HER OWN PROBLEMS. THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY THAT AMERICAN SOLDIERS SHOULD TAKE ORDERS FROM COMMANDERS APPOINTED BY THE UNITED NATIONS. LET ME SHARE WITH YOU SOME WORDS OF THE GREATEST FOREIGN POLICY PRESIDENT OF OUR TIME·· RICHARD NIXON. 23 Page 27 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu JUST LAST JANUARY, PRESIDENT NIXON SAID, AND I QUOTE-· "SOME ARE TIRED OF LEADERSHIP," "THEY SAY (AMERICA) CARRIED THAT BURDEN LONG ENOUGH. BUT IF WE DO NOT PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, WHO WILL? THE GERMANS? THE JAPANESE? THE RUSSIANS? THE CHINESE? ONLY THE UNITED STATES HAS THE POTENTIAL ... TO LEAD IN THE ERA BEYOND PEACE. IT IS 24 Page 28 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu A GREAT CHALLENGE FOR A GREAT PEOPLE." PRESIDENT NIXON WAS RIGHT. THE UNITED STATES MAY BE AT PEACE, BUT EVENTS IN NORTH KOREA, BOSNIA, AND ELSEWHERE REMIND US THAT DICTATORS STILL EXIST, THAT AGGRESSORS WHO ARE NOT STOPPED WILL ONLY GROW MORE BRAZEN AND MORE BLOOD-THIRSTY, AND THAT 25 Page 29 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IS STILL REQUIRED. WHEN AMERICA'S INTERESTS ARE AT STAKE, WHEN FREEDOM IS THREATENED, THEN, LIKE IT OR NOT, WE ARE THE ONLY "COP ON THE BEAT." WE ARE THE WORLD'S ONLY ECONOMIC, MILITARY.- AND POLITICAL SUPERPOWER. AND WE MUST LEAD. 26 Page 30 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE THE WORLD TODAY HAD THE ATTITUDE THAT SOME NOW ADVOCATE PREVAILED THE PAST HALF-CENTURY. IMAGINE THAT D-DAY NEVER HAPPENED, AND THAT HITLER'S ARMIES CONQUERED EUROPE. IMAGINE THAT KRUSCHEV AND NOT NIXON WAS THE WINNER OF THE "KITCHEN DEBATE," AND AMERICA'S CHILDREN LIVED UNDER 27 Page 31 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu COMMUNISM, RATHER THAN RUSSIA'S CHILDREN LIVING UNDER DEMOCRACY. IMAGINE SADDAM HUSSEIN IN CONTROL OF THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S OIL SUPPLY. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE WORLD CANNOT AFFORD A FUTURE WITHOUT AMERICAN LEADERSHIP, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH RICK 28 Page 32 of 89 ------This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu WORKING WITH RICK SANTORUM TO PROVIDING THAT LEADERSHIP.

To: Senator Dole 1994 From: Paul Curcio Re: Pennsylvania Briefing The Senate Race PQJXOCAL UPDATE; Harris Wofford's election in 1991 was more anti-Washington than it was pro- Wofford. His critics contend that Wofford is better at defining problems than he is at proposing solutions. For example, since his election, Wofford has been largely invisible and has not done anything substantive on health citre, his central issue in the '91 campaign. Recently, Wofford raised eyebrows by publicly backing away Clinton health plan, after from the he prominently supported it up to that point. The GOP's opportunity in Pennsylvania is great: polls show Woft'ord to be weak, and we will field a strong gubernatorial ticket headed by Congressman Tom Ridge, which will help our Senate nominee. The Republican nominee is Congressman Rick Santorum of Pittsburgh. Santorum is young, articulate, attractive, and a very hard worker. Experts credit his 1990 upset of a 10-year incumbent Doug Walgren to the 25,000 doors he knocked on. In the '94 GOP primary, Santorum beat political novice Joe Watkins, who had Ed Rollins and Jack Kemp as supporters, by a 80%-20% margin. Congressman Santonnn and Senator Wofford have accepted to debate each other this Fall. The debates, scheduled for October 15 and 22, are being co-sponsored by League of Women Voters of The Pennsylvania Citizens Education Fund and The Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation. In addition, however, Santorum has challenged Sen. Wofford to debates in 60 cities and towns across Pennsylvania this summer. To date, Sen. Wofford has declined them all. Senator Wofford recently alienated pro-life and pro-choice advocates during the same Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. He voted a1:runst an amendment that would have remove.cl abortion services from the package of benefits that every health insurance company will be required to offer. He then voted in SUW<>rt of an amendment de.claring that the health care bill would not invalidate state abortion restrictions such as Pennsylvania's .

Harris Wofford (D-PA) "enraged both sides of the abortion issue with two controversial votes" 6/7, as the Sen. Labor & Human Res. Cmte "continued its contentious effort" to shape a health care reform bill. Wofford first "annoyed" anti- abortionists by voting against an amendment that "would have removed abortion services from the package of benefits that every health insurance company will be required to offer." He then "infuriated" abortion rights activists by voting for an amendment that "would not invalidate state abortion restrictions," such as those in PA. As Wofford "proclaimed success in finding the 'common ground' on abortion," NARAL's James Wagoner called Wofford "Senator Waffle," while anti-abortionists said his stance did not make "any sense" (Torry, PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, 6/8). Wofford "reiterated his seemingly unique position" that health care proposals by Pres. Clinton and Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) "do not require insurers to include abortion coverage." The Admin. and Kennedy "have said otherwise." But by refusing to exclude abortion coverage, Wofford "has bucked not only abortion adversaries but also his friend" retiring Gov. Bob Casey (D), who has lobbied Hill members "to strike abortion" from any health bill. In a '91 special election, Casey "helped raise as much as $1 million for Wofford, a contribution that many have said was crucial" for him. Casey staff members have said that Casey's role in Wofford's re-election campaign, "which is more self- sufficient, has not been determined." PA Pro-Life Federation exec. dir. Denise Neary: "Knowing Gov. Casey's position on the issue, I can't imagine him lifting a finger for Sen. Wofford." Abortion rights activists, who supported Wofford in 1 91 against ex-u.s. Atty Dick Thornburgh (R), said Wofford "should not assume they will back him again," despite his challenger Rep. Rick Santorum (R-18), a "staunch abortion opponent." PA NOW pres. Barbara DiTullio: "The election is going to be close this year. He should look to where he can pick up large numbers of women's votes" (Enda, PHILA. INQUIRER, 6/8).

Ralph Acosta (D) announced 6/11 he was joining the GOP and would run as a GOPer in the fall against ex-Dep. Philly Mayor Benjamin Ramos (D), to whom he lost in the Dem primary. Acosta said he was switching "after being repeatedly chastised" by fellow Dems for breaking with party leaders: "I would not be able to get any more punishment than I've been given. I feel I'm not going to go through with being lied to and being used" (Bell, Harrisburg PATRIOT-NEWS, 6/12). House Speaker H. William Deweese (D) blamed Philly Mayor Ed Rendell (D) and state Sen. Vincent Fumo (D): "Rendell and Fumo and most of the leadership of the Philadelphia House delegation did not see the big picture." The "big picture" was that, with a 102-101 Dem House majority, "every member will have be to present and voting in unison for the party to pass bills without any Republican support." Deweese said Acosta's "motivating force is and illimitable detestation for Eddie," referring to Rendell (Zausner, PHILA. INQUIRER, 6/13).

Cuomo (D) Eligible to seek reelection. FUiog Date: July 11-14 Primary Election: Sept. 13 REPQILJCAN~ l>SMOCRAIS George Pataki, State Senator Mario Cuomo~ Incumbent Richard Rosenbaum, Fonn.er GOP Chairman Early Summary 11 State Senator George Pataki won o:fficial candidate status" of the New York Republican Party on May 23 . NYU Dean Herb London missed the opportunity to be placed on the ballot when he received 22% at the GOP convention, 3 points ghort of conseNatives what said London would need to be tBken serious1y at tht Conservative Party convention. Then. a.s expected, on June 6 Senator Pataki was nominated by the Conservative Party. Fonner Republican State Chainnan Richard Rosenbaum will continue to try to obtain "nough signatures to be on the primary ballot September 13. A Putnam County state Senator, George Pataki has a history of defeating popular and powerlbl incumbents. His first political victory was in the Democratic city of Peekskill over the three tenn Democratic Mayor. He then bea.t the Democratic A.tsemblyman frQm his area. His most recent upset was over '1n incumbent Republican state Senator in a primaiy. He grew up on a farm and graduated from Yale and Columbia Law School. H~ worked in the Legislature before he ran for Mayor of Peekskill. To this day he manages hi$ furn and sells fruits and vegetables at a family stand in Peek$kill. Over the years in the Assembly and Senate, he has been forced to spend much ofllis time trying to slow Democratic legislation. His connections to a New York low-tax group have, in the past, 51:.rained relations with GOP Senate Leader Ralph Marino. Marino had l>een a target of this group. (However, Marino had tried to r~it Senator Pataki to run for Governor in 1990.) Senator Pataki has been a favorite of fiscal conservativesJ but environrnentali$ts as well. He has called for detp tax cuts. reduced government spending and the death penalty in this campaign. He is also pro-choice. but favors restricting Medicaid funding of abortions.

The coup of the Republican convention was the selection of Ma.nhttttan Institute SMiox- :Fellow Elizabeth P. Mccaughey a$ the Lieutenant Governor candidate. She recently came to the public's attention with her scathing criticism of the Clinton Health Carb Plan in the New Republic. After losing the Republican nomination for governor, NYU Dean and economist Herb London decided to join Senator Pataki as the nominee for State Comptroller. ~ a. Rye fireman told The N~ York Times, the state needs somebody who can 11 ''shake th~ ttte a Jittle. He went on to say, "we•re a little too complacent. A little change is ,good." Cuomo aides fear this sentiment more than any other. The feeling is home out in recent polls. A New York Daily News poll, from June 2-5 shows that 65% of' those surveyed feel that it is time for a change. His approval rating is only 45%. Cuomo leads Senator Pataki 48% to 41 %. With Libertarian nominee and radio shock jock Howard Stem included, Cuomo receives 47%~ Pataki receives 40% and Stem receives 7% (margin of elTOr +/. 3.3%). People see crime throughout New York and yearn for the return of the death penalty which Cuomo opposes. They perhaps more than anything are just tir~d .of the misplaced priorities. As a suburban general contractor noted in the New York Times, you can receive many kinds of non·health related nonessential surgery on state aid, "but the average guy can't get his teeth cleaned. They pay $3,000 a month for putting hOmeless pe¢plc in hotels. Who's in charge? Mario want$ the kudos, but he doesn't. want to _ltWce the hard political decisions." Many of the statistics continue to mount against Governor Cuomo as well. From July 1990 through September 1993 for example, New York has realized a decrease of 6,94% of its payroll jobs_ Th.is plaoes New York 47th in the country for that period. By the I.992-1993 school year, New York students scored about 15 point$ below the national average on SATs. New York has one of the lowest graduation rates and one of the high.est adult illiteracy rates in the nation. 1992 Presidential Vote Clinton (D) 3,444,450 (50%) Bush(R) 2,346,649 (34%) Perot (I) l,090,721 (16%) Total 6.881,820 1990 Gubernatorial General Election Results Mario M.

The Erie Congressman was helped with a better than expected margin of victory in Philadelphia. Representative Ridge al$0 won consistently in westem PeM$ylvania counties. He has run hi$ campaign based in large part on a commitment to bring I 00.000 export-related jobs to Pennsylvania. He has promised to cut $2 billion in wasteful state spending. He pledged to match that with S2 billion in tax cuts. Representative ltidge is pro-choice. He hM borrowed extensively from other Republican governors in his development of policy to combat the welfare problems in '.Pennsylvania. To enoourage a stronger family structure, Ridge would require that young welfare mothers live at the home of their parents or a guardian.

Congressman Ridge will face Lieut~nant Governor Mark Singel. Singel won the:: nomination surptisirigly easily by garnering 31 % of the Democratic primary vote_ His next closest competitor received 21%. Singel has been Li~utenant Governor since 1987. He publicly sought appointment to the la.tc Senator John Heinz's Senate seat_ His one time political mentor and boss, Governor Bob Casey. turned instead to Harri$ Wofford. Then in 1992 he asain sought a Senate seat. to only lose in the primary to Lynn Yeakel. Singe! is in a dilenuna. On one hand he may want to distance himself from some of the Governor's policie$. Fot example, Governor Casey raised taxes in 1991 after the Casey/Singel ticket told voters in 1990 the finances that of the state were stable. On the other hand) Singel does not want to lose what support he is still receiving from Governor Casey. Despite his policies, Casey does enjoy goodwill that wu built up since coming back &om his heart-liver transplant. The relatiomihip between Singel and Casey has been uneasy since Singe! flip-flopped from pro· life tO pro--clloice in 1991. There is a po$sibility that a pro-life candidate will ent~r the race and run as an independent. 1992 Presidential Vote Clinton(D) 2,239,164 (45%) Bush(R) 1,791~841 (36%) Perot (I) 902,667 (18%) Tota.I 4,933)672 1990 Gubernatorial General Election Results Robert P.

This time, Santorum is promoting his welfare reform legislation, H.R. 3500, the House sponsored GOP welfare package. Santorum's pulse is more bad news for Harris Wofford, whose seat a recent poll declared extremely vulnerable. According to an independent poll taken by the Millersville University Center for Politics and Public Affairs, in Millersville, PA, on February 5-7, 1994 with a sample of 771 statewide voters and a margin of error of +/-3.5%, Senator Harris Wofford has an overall approval rating of 39%. "VVhen you take a look at those numbers, Wofford becomes vulnerable for a sitting senator," says G. Terry Madonna, Millersville University professor and director of the poll. "He's got numbers in the 30s. Normally, unless you're up in the 50s, you're considered vulnerable. There is no settled opinion of Wofford among the electorate. He's well-known, but voters haven't decided whether they want to re-elect him."1 \Nhen rated on job performance, a staggering 53% rated Wofford a FAIR to POOR Senator. On a similar question, a 44% majority of voters believe it is time for a change, and intend to vote AGAINST Wofford in the '94 Senate Election. The poll further shows 3 out of 4 voters have a FAVORABLE opinion of Santorum. Wofford's continued dedine bodes well for Santorum, the endorsed GOP candidate, who is expected to win the May 10th primary election. There is a fundraising reception honoring Congressman Santorum on April 12th, from 5:30-7:30 P.M. at the Ronald Reagan Republican Center.
