48th Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
These men and women represent the very best of us. To every first responder, from firefighters to EMS providers — we’ve got your back.

Today, I’m proud to announce $37 million in grants to fire companies and local EMS all across Pennsylvania, including $16,000 for Dickson City Fire Department here in NEPA.

Running into a burning building takes an incredible amount of courage and bravery — and our firefighters do that every single day.

For the third straight year, Pocono Raceway will welcome thousands of @nascar.com fans for The Great American Getaway 400 this June. 🏁 Are you ready?

That means investing in our police, firefighters, and first responders so they have the resources they need to keep serving our communities.

Public safety is at the heart of our work as elected leaders. Because when our communities are safe, we provide a strong foundation for real growth that makes people’s lives better.

Behind the scenes: a budget that builds on our progress.

Senate Republicans need to put aside their politics, listen to the victims, and get this done. Now.

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse deserve a chance at real accountability.

I’ve been calling for statute of limitations reform for years — and the House has passed a clean bill 6 different times since I’ve been in office.

As this space evolves quickly, we need to move even quicker to protect Pennsylvanians.
February 9, 2026 at 9:27 PM
We need to hold these companies and developers accountable and put real safeguards in place — like requiring age verification and parental consent, and preventing these bots from producing sexually explicit or violent content featuring kids.
February 9, 2026 at 9:27 PM
AI companion bots don’t just pose serious risks for our kids — they can also be dangerous for our seniors and those with disabilities.
February 9, 2026 at 9:27 PM
It's cruel, and it was preventable. We will not stop working to lower costs here in Pennsylvania, but I truly wish the federal government could say the same.
February 9, 2026 at 8:16 PM
As a DIRECT result, Pennsylvanians' health care premiums more than doubled and nearly 85,000 have been forced to drop their coverage because they just can’t afford to keep it anymore. That's 1 in 5 enrollees that couldn't keep their plan.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans refused to extend the ACA premium tax credits.
February 9, 2026 at 8:16 PM
Here in Pennsylvania, we take care of each other — and my Administration will continue to protect the good people of this Commonwealth.
February 9, 2026 at 7:28 PM
My latest budget protects our seniors from abuse and financial exploitation, puts real AI safeguards in place for our kids, and delivers dedicated state funding for the 988 crisis line for the first time ever.

Let’s pass this commonsense plan into law and ensure Pennsylvania is an energy leader for years to come.
February 9, 2026 at 5:02 PM
✅ Reform our permitting laws to get energy projects off the ground faster.
✅ Diversify our energy sector and increase investment in renewable energy.
✅ Save consumers an estimated $664 million on their utility bills and create 15,000 new jobs.
February 9, 2026 at 5:02 PM
I’m an all-of-the-above energy Governor — and my Lightning Plan will:

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

If we want to get serious about helping Pennsylvanians afford housing, health care, and more, then we need to raise the minimum wage and help them earn a decent living.
February 8, 2026 at 4:11 PM
I know folks are struggling with higher costs caused by Donald Trump’s failed economic policies.
February 8, 2026 at 4:11 PM
We’ve cut taxes SEVEN times since I took office, and I’ve called to raise our minimum wage every year I’ve been Governor.
February 8, 2026 at 4:11 PM
Let’s keep going so that EVERY student in Pennsylvania has access to a quality education.
