Add another Democrat to the list of candidates who want to take on Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.

Tom  Wolf, previously mentioned as a potential candidate in 2014, today declared his candidacy in an e-mail to supporters.

The York County businessman and former state revenue secretary called for an end to Corbett policies that he said have pinched the middle class.

“I  believe we can do so much better. So today we begin a journey together to reclaim fairness for the middle class. Let’s engage in a great debate over policy, values, fairness and our future,” he said in a statement.

Former Gov. Ed Rendell appointed Wolf as revenue secretary in 2007, and he served in that job until November 2008.

Political pundits Terry Madonna and Michael Young are already handicapping the field for the 2014 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election.

Gov. Tom Corbett is expected to seek re-election. But Democrats smell blood in the water based on his job polling numbers, and the Nov. 6 Democratic victories in the state highlighted by President Barack Obama’s second-term win and U.S. Sen Bob Casey’s re-election.

Their column can be found here.

Madonna and Young say it’s even possible that Corbett could face a challenge in the GOP primary.

They say the field of potential Democratic candidates includes Ed Rendell (again, though he says no), state Treasurer Rob McCord, Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane, former Congressman Joe Sestak, Casey, and Josh Shapiro, current chairman of the Montgomery County commissioners.

Sounds like 2014 could be interesting.
