Wolf to get $1.5M for campaign

closer last week to passing legislation that would ban abortion based solely on a diagnosis of Down syndrome. The House passed the legislation in April, and it advanced out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

Mr. Wagner is a co-sponsor of the legislation. Mr. Wolf has said he opposes it.

“We believe in the right of everybody — everybody — to make their own choices over their own health care for their own bodies,” Mr. Wolf said during an event with Planned Parenthood last year.

In December, Mr. Wolf vetoed Senate Bill 3, which would have outlawed abortion at the 20-week mark of pregnancy, four weeks earlier than under current law. The bill provided some exceptions for emergencies like protecting the life of the mother, but not for cases involving rape or incest.

Planned Parenthood also credits Mr. Wolf for expanding Medicaid and access to contraception, among other issues.

Mr. Wagner — who has mostly focused on pocketbook issues like pledging to eliminate school property taxes — wasn’t social conservatives’ top pick in the GOP primary. But he voted in favor of the 20-week abortion ban and has said he would support legislation that would prohibit abortion if a doctor detects a fetal heartbeat — typically about six weeks into a pregnancy.

Mr. Wolf had $15 million in his campaign account as of June 4, according to campaign-finance records made public Thursday.

Mr. Wagner had $1.6 million following an expensive primary. He has lent his campaign $6.1 million.

Mr. Wolf is leading Mr. Wagner 48 percent to 29 percent among registered voters, according to a Franklin & Marshall poll released last week.

However, 23 percent were undecided, and the Wagner campaign said the survey’s sample overrepresented Democratic voters.
