Three perspectives
Same claim, three reads. Decide which one you find most persuasive.
Corporate attorney being packaged as a working-class populist, steel-mill biography belies a K&L Gates partner career. Policies (tax elimination, deregulation) would hurt working families.
Dropped out of 2022 gov race before the primary, a fact supporters and critics interpret differently. Deep Pittsburgh legal/business donor network. Fate tied to Garrity's general-election math.
Proven Allegheny County Republican organizer, attorney with strong legal credentials, Western PA geographic balance for the ticket. Previous 2022 exit before primary shows he reads the map well.
