Montgomery County's top elected Republican official, Commissioner Joe Gale, announced his intention Tuesday to run for Pennsylvania governor.
The county commissioner shared his political aspirations in an op-ed sent to MediaNews Group publications.
“As governor, I will hold bad Republicans accountable not just by naming names, but by supporting primary challenges against those who undermine a common-sense conservative agenda — which must begin with election reform,” Gale said. “This means eliminating Pennsylvania’s 50 days of no-excuse mail-in voting and mandating that photo-identification be shown at the polls on Election Day.”

**** Pennsy Ping ****
I’ll have to look into him.
Montgomery County does not excite me...
Gale’s a whiny loser who personally attacks Mastriano. No sale.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
And I CAN’T WAIT for the radio commercials with Jeff Salvino narrating them .
I like the fighting style of State Senator Doug Mastriano, but the bottom line is: We, the voters, are hiring the Chief Executive of the Commonwealth.
County Commissioners have Executive Branch experience. State Senators do not. Sorry, Doug, come back again when you gain some experience.
He's won election and re-election. That sounds like a winner to me. Unlike Doug and his disgusting scumbag COWARDS in the PA senate (and house) who failed on many occasions, to do what Joe Gale is saying he will do. They blew it on judges and they blew it on the theft of the election. Gale gets it. If Trump "got it", he'd still be President.
Love this guy. He is a fighter indeed. Still have a hand written thank you card he sent me after my small humble donation.
We shall see, but if this guy’s the real deal, i’ll back him.
So what exactly would you have the Republican State Senators do when there are enough Democrats to thwart veto overrides of Wolf?
Gale’s a weasel. Back him at your own peril.
Hahaha 🤣! Those Daily Salvos are the best.
" In 2015, when the Montgomery County Republican Committee chose a former board member of Planned Parenthood and a tax delinquent as their endorsed candidates for County Commissioner, I was outraged and decided to run unendorsed on the core values of moral character and fiscal responsibility to give Republicans a true pro-life conservative choice in the primary. Despite being smeared by the GOP establishment for daring to challenge their handpicked puppets, the Republican primary voters of Montgomery County elected me to be their nominee for County Commissioner. Opposition from party bosses and GOP insiders carried over into the general election, along with predictable resistance from the Democrat Party who wanted a rubber-stamp Republican who would ‘go along to get along’ on the three-member Board of Commissioners. Yet, by the grace of God and an unprecedented grassroots campaign, I garnered enough support from Republicans, Independents and conservative Democrats to earn a position on the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners at the age of 26. In doing so, I not only became the youngest Montgomery County Commissioner in history, but the first elected without the support of either major party establishment. In 2016, I was honored to be the first elected official in Pennsylvania to endorse Donald Trump for President. Like me, I knew Donald Trump was a genuine conservative outsider who could win and shake up the system by disrupting the status quo. Beyond his many accomplishments in the White House, Donald Trump’s greatest contribution to our nation was his ability to defeat the GOP swamp and rebuild the Republican Party on the fertile soil of patriotic populism. Sadly, in the final days of Donald Trump’s sabotaged presidency and the bogus impeachment that followed, we have witnessed the beginning of a concerted effort by entrenched politicians and party bosses to return the Republican Party to the failed policies and platforms of the Bush, McCain and Romney era. However, the Republican Party cannot go backward to move forward. To continue advancing the Trump movement, we must remain committed to draining the swamp within the GOP, which is best accomplished by winning Republican primaries. The mid-term elections of 2022 offer frustrated Pennsylvania Republican voters a unique opportunity. Democrat Governor Tom Wolf, whose gross negligence and totalitarian overreach has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of countless families and small businesses, will be termed out. We cannot afford to replace Governor Wolf with an establishment puppet or fake conservative who makes big speeches and peddles false hope instead of delivering real results. We need an independent conservative outsider who has the proven ability to win and the fortitude to lead. That is why I am announcing my bid for Pennsylvania Governor. For too long, the state government has been dominated by a pathetic Republican-controlled legislature who has given us little more than the nation’s highest gasoline tax (Act 89) and the nation’s longest universal mail-in voting period (Act 77). As Governor, I will hold bad Republicans accountable not just by naming names, but by supporting primary challenges against those who undermine a common-sense conservative agenda – which must begin with election reform. This means eliminating Pennsylvania’s 50 days of no-excuse mail-in voting and mandating that photo-identification be shown at the polls on Election Day. In the weeks and months ahead, Sean Gale and I will continue outlining and articulating my plans to restore common-sense and end politics-as-usual in Harrisburg."
I might have to send some $$$ to him. I might tell my relatives to do it, too.
My friend says he sounds like Curtis "Booger" Armstrong, from Revenge Of The Nerds.
