We've funded 1,500 new cops and invested hundreds of millions in violence prevention programs.

If he wants to get serious on safety, President Trump should invest more in policing and programs like these — not use the National Guard for a dangerous power grab.

Pennsylvanians shouldn’t have to work multiple jobs just to put a roof over their heads.

That’s why we nearly doubled support for the PHARE fund last year, so that more parents like Mily have an affordable place to call home.

Our democracy started right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania – and I will stand up to defend it when the federal government undermines your rights.

I’ve got your back.

Anyone who tries to undermine Pennsylvanians' fundamental freedoms will have to go through me — whether that's a predatory corporation or the President of the United States.

Pennsylvania was just ranked as one of the best states to live in – and it's no surprise why.

We're putting in the work to cut costs, expand economic opportunity, and give our kids the tools they need to succeed.

What we’re doing is working – let’s keep going.

Pennsylvania is ranked as one of the top five states in the nation for public education.

That’s because we’ve:

🧑🔧 Enrolled 3,000+ additional students in CTE courses
🍩 Served 92 million free breakfasts to students just last year
❤️🩹 Expanded mental health services in nearly 800 schools

Pennsylvania has the best workforce in the nation — and as long as I’m Governor, we’ll never be a right to work state.

To the men and women that power our progress: Happy Labor Day!

From funding free, universal school breakfast to updating school buildings in need of repair, we’ve made historic investments in K-12 education.

To the kids and teachers heading back to school across our Commonwealth: I want you to know I have your back.

If you received a tax cut, let me know how getting that money back helped you in the comments.

Here in Pennsylvania, we’re cutting taxes and putting money back in your pocket.

In just two years, we’ve tripled the Child Care Tax Credit, passed the largest targeted tax cut for our seniors in decades, and slashed taxes for small businesses.

I just took legal action to stop the Trump Administration from preventing access to mifepristone — because reproductive care should be up to women and their doctors, not Donald Trump and RFK Jr.

As long as I’m your Governor, abortion will remain safe, legal and accessible here in Pennsylvania.

To the good people of Clairton and the entire U.S. Steel family: The prayers of 13 million Pennsylvanians are with you today.

My Administration will continue to work with our local and federal partners to provide the support and resources necessary to recover.

We've got your back.

Because the State Senate hasn’t acted, we are just days away from devastating cuts to SEPTA.

School starts in 2 weeks and those cuts would hurt 55,000 kids – and their families – who rely on SEPTA buses and trains to get to class.

It’s time to get this done.
