48th Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
30 states across the country have a higher minimum wage than Pennsylvania — including 9 of our neighbors.

The time to raise the minimum wage is now.

In 2020, we went to court against Trump and his allies 43 times.

I went 43-0. He went 0-43.

If he wants to run it back, we will.

Pennsylvania has long been a hub of discovery and innovation — and if we pass my budget, we’ll build on that legacy to grow our economy.
February 5, 2026 at 6:04 PM
The Trump Administration has come for Pennsylvanians’ health care, SNAP benefits, and our constitutional rights.

In the last year alone, we went to court against them 19 times. But we need to stay prepared for whatever comes next.

I know that government can be a force for good in people’s lives.

Our kids are getting a better education. Our workers have more opportunities to chart their own course. Our economy is growing. And our communities are safer.

All patients and staff at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City were evacuated safely last evening. I’ve spoken with hospital leadership to thank them for their quick response and coordination with our state agencies and discuss how we can ensure a quick recovery.

The PA State Police, PEMA, and PA Department of Health
are on the scene now at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Dickson City and helping to evacuate patients and secure the area.

The good people of Pennsylvania have always been my motivation for why I do this work every day.

I’m ready to build on what we’ve accomplished. Let’s get to work.

BREAKING: The Pennsylvania House just advanced a bill to finally raise our minimum wage to $15 / hour.

Yesterday, I called on both parties and both houses to get this done and put a minimum wage bill on my desk.

I went to court against Donald Trump and his allies 43 times as Attorney General to protect free and fair elections here in Pennsylvania.

I'm 43-0. He's 0-43.

I'm more than ready to stand up for our elections this year and do it again.

Utility companies in Pennsylvania make billions in revenue every year.

Meanwhile, they’ve driven our costs up and up — without enough public accountability or transparency.

For years, Pennsylvania hasn't had enough child care workers.

We’re going to hold data centers accountable to strict standards if they want Pennsylvania’s full support.

In just three years, we’ve made historic investments in education, workforce development, public safety, and so much more — all while cutting taxes SEVEN times and putting more money back in folks’ pockets.

My fourth budget builds on the strong foundation we’ve laid and continues to get stuff done for the good people of Pennsylvania.

Let’s get to work.

I just delivered my fourth Budget Address — a balanced budget that continues to cut costs, invest in our schools, and expand our workforce.

And we do it all without a single broad-based tax increase.

Here are a just a few of my priorities ➡️

As I deliver the final budget address of my first term, my message is simple:

At a time when it feels like others’ values are changing, ours remain the same in Pennsylvania.

Right now, landlords are allowed to charge prospective tenants ridiculously high fees just to submit a rental application.

I’m calling on the legislature to send a bill to my desk that puts a statewide cap on rental application fees.

Pennsylvania is losing out on an industry that will bring in millions of dollars in new revenue: adult-use cannabis.

This is common sense.

I’m asking both sides to come together, and send a bill to my desk that both legalizes it AND regulates it.
February 3, 2026 at 6:25 PM
Pennsylvania’s Republican Senate is the only thing standing between us and a $15 minimum wage.

$7.25 is too damn low — and it’s hurting our workers.

Raise the wage.

We’re the only state in the Northeast with a growing economy.

We’re producing more energy than ever before.

We’ve increased funding for education by nearly 30% — and attendance and graduation rates are up.

NEW: Pennsylvania collected over $416.8 million more than expected in revenue this fiscal year-to-date — that's a total of $25.5 BILLION!

Tomorrow I’ll propose my fourth budget — a balanced plan that continues to cut costs, build better schools, expand our workforce, and grow our economy.

Local businesses like McGrath’s Pub and Anna Rose Bakery give Downtown Harrisburg its character.

I'm committed to investing in these businesses — and investing in our downtowns to make sure they remain great places to live, work, and gather.

We’re tackling substance use disorder head on here in Pennsylvania through our Overdose Prevention Program — and it saved over 11,400 lives just last year. Watch Amanda’s full story on our YouTube: youtu.be/8Xlnvc4weWU
