From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
Two-term state Attorney General Tom Corbett has taken his first official step toward a run for governor.
Corbett, 59, a Republican, filed paperwork yesterday to form an exploratory committee after discussions with friends and family, a spokesman said.
“Pennsylvanians are looking for a leader with the experience to create economic opportunities for Pennsylvania families through tax cuts, cutting government waste and spending, reforming state government, and creating good family-sustaining jobs,” Corbett said in a statement.
The paperwork filing allows Corbett to begin raising money and hiring staff for the 2010 race.
