PA-TREAS: Treasurer Garrity (R), Challenger McClelland (D) Lock Horns

Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity, who is running for reelection, traded barbs with her Democratic opponent Erin McClelland. McClelland also failed to secure the endorsement of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro.

Garrity called for McClelland to “immediately correct her campaign finance report” after finding a mistake of about 10 percent more than McClelland has in cash on-hand.

“Comparing the two reports shows us that – either by error or design – Erin McClelland double-counted the same $10,000, resulting in an incorrect total that misleads the public and represents roughly 10 percent of her campaign’s cash-on-hand,” said Jim Tkacik, Garrity’s campaign manager. “This is simple, basic math. If McClelland can’t get this right, why should voters trust her to oversee $150 billion in taxpayer money?”

McClelland’s records showed $10,000 from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 5 dated July 9.
