Wallace outspent Reddick's campaign by a 7-to-1 margin with much of the $2.4 million spent as of end of April coming from his own pockets. He also had the backing of the Bucks County Democratic Committee and other powerful county Democrats. And while this was his first campaign, he is the grandson of former Vice President Henry A. Wallace. Wallace also worked on the staff of two U.S. Senate committees early in his career.
