Nixon warns Pennsylvania GOP on campaign spending
Former Vice President Richard Nixon told Philadelphia reporters that Pennsylvania Republicans may need to raise as much as 2.5 million to win the governor’s race, while Democrats could outspend the GOP candidate. He projected total summer and fall spending of about 5 million in the state, noting Milton Shapp’s self-funded primary campaign and urging against a “for sale” governor’s chair. Nixon also weighed Scranton’s future role, saying he remains an influential voice even after his 1964 presidential bid.
