48th Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Behind the scenes: a budget that builds on our progress.
February 9, 2026 at 10:34 PM
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.

AI companion bots don’t just pose serious risks for our kids — they can also be dangerous for our seniors and those with disabilities.

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans refused to extend the ACA premium tax credits.
February 9, 2026 at 8:16 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.

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.

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.

We’ve gotten a lot done for our kids over the last three years. So far we’ve:
 
🥞Served more than 224 MILLION free breakfasts.

👷Enrolled 3,000 more students in career and technical education programs.

🧑‍🏫Paid 2,000 student teachers for their hard work in the classroom.

For anyone in Harrisburg who tries to tell you that we can’t afford to make bigger investments in our kids, public safety, and our economy — let’s look at the facts.

Representing Pennsylvania on the world stage.

Good luck to all of our incredible athletes competing in Milan at the 2026 Winter Olympics!

As of January 1, 19 U.S. states saw increases to their minimum wage go into effect.

Again, Pennsylvania wasn't one of them. The time to raise the minimum wage is now.
February 6, 2026 at 9:23 PM
We need to help more Pennsylvanians chart their own course.

In the last 3 years, we’ve invested over $500 million in CTE, vo-tech, and apprenticeship programs — and my new budget would increase funding for these programs by $18 million for a total investment just this year of $200 million.

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.
February 5, 2026 at 7:00 PM
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.
February 5, 2026 at 5:13 PM
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.
February 5, 2026 at 3:29 PM
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.
February 4, 2026 at 10:17 PM
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.
February 4, 2026 at 9:37 PM
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.
