On Thursday, Governor Tom Wolf submitted 17 executive nominations to the Pennsylvania State Senate for consideration. Of the 17 nominations, only 5 are to fill vacant seats while the remaining 17 will replace nominations made by former Governor Tom Corbett and recalled by Wolf earlier this year.

“Today, I presented 17 executive nominations to the State Senate for consideration and I look forward to the quick advancement of these qualified candidates,” Wolf said. “Earlier this year, I recalled 25 executive nominations after the previous governor made the nominations on his way out the door.”

“Senator Corman and I worked together on a compromise to ensure that we advanced highly qualified candidates to fill these positions,” Wolf said. “After conversations with Senator Corman, we agreed that 13 nominations recommended by the Senate would proceed and I would submit 12 nominations of my choosing.”

“This was a fair process, and I appreciate Senator Corman’s willingness to work together to achieve a compromise,” Wolf said.
