This Commonwealth remains committed to investing in after & out-of school programs so kids and teenagers have a safe place to go, away from violence. We’re proposing an increase of $10 million to expand access to these programs so that even more young people can find the

Firearm suicides remain disproportionately high among rural populations, leaving a devastating impact on tight-knit communities and families alike. Grant funding is now available for local governments and non-profits to apply for who work to prevent and respond to firearm.

Collective bargaining improves wages, ensures safe working conditions, creates stability in the workforce and most importantly, it’s a protected right in Pennsylvania. I stand with our workers today and everyday, those who are unionized and those who are fighting to be, as we.

When state and federal governments invest in people, our communities thrive. I was proud to join my fellow western PA elected officials as we celebrated the groundbreaking of a new joint library and community center in Etna, PA. Projects like these bring communities together

Education is one of our biggest priorities in Pennsylvania and for the Trump Administration to walk away from students and teachers and block $230 million in funding to our classrooms, is disgraceful. Our administration is once again standing up to defend Pennsylvanians from.
Once again, the Trump Administration is trying to take away dollars that were committed to Pennsylvania — this time from our schools. I’m left with no choice but to sue the Trump Administration alongside 25 other states and force them to deliver the money our students and.

Last week, Pennsylvania announced that we joined with over 40 other states in allowing licensed nurses, doctors, and physical therapists to transfer to the Commonwealth and start providing care in a fraction of the time. We’re cutting red tape and making it easier than ever.

911 services are back online! . Thank you to our dedicated team at PEMA and the first responders across Pennsylvania who work to keep us safe every day.
At this time, 911 services have been restored in Pennsylvania. An investigation into what caused intermittent outages will continue, and we will update you on that as soon as we can. We worked with counties to fully test that the system is operational. Please do not call 911.

Public transit accessibility is directly linked to the success of our economy — without it, we will all feel its impact. So let’s fund our public transit systems so people can get to work and live their best lives in Pennsylvania.

This administration recognizes how essential our small businesses and main streets are for the success of our local communities. So far, we’ve invested $20 million in our main streets and we’re looking to invest another $20 million to improve sidewalks, lighting, and.

Every Pennsylvanian deserves a place they can call home. That’s why we’ve invested in affordable housing and home repair projects so more people can find their forever homes and stay right here in Pennsylvania.

Every county in Pennsylvania has a mass transit system. Whether it’s a ride share program in Beaver, bus services in Lancaster, or regional rail in Philadelphia, mass transit is an essential service, providing nearly 1 million rides for Pennsylvanians every day. Let’s keep

At minimum wage, a full-time employee will earn only $15,080 a year – far short of what’s needed to pay for rent, groceries, utilities, and more for the average Pennsylvanian. Every year, we’ve proposed raising the wage. It’s time to get this done.

State government has a tremendous impact on the lives of Pennsylvanians. Whether it's investing in our schools, fixing roads and bridges, or making our communities safer, administrations like the one I share with my governing partner @GovernorShapiro exemplify what government

As we continue to see workforce shortages in child care, Pennsylvania remains committed to our early education teachers. The Shapiro-Davis administration has proposed a targeted investment of $55 million in this budget to provide our child care workers $1000 in recruitment or

This is a big deal. Now licensed nurses, doctors, and physical therapists from over 40 states can join our workforce in a fraction of the time and provide care in the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania is laser-focused on cutting red tape, creating opportunities, and getting stuff done.
Instead of taking months to complete the full licensure process, doctors, nurses, and physical therapists from over 40 other states are now able to come to Pennsylvania and start working within days. Real freedom means being able to do the job you trained for — without red tape

The gun violence we saw this weekend in Philadelphia, and across Pennsylvania, should never be normalized in this Commonwealth. Everyday this administration is working to reduce gun violence by supporting the programs and the people who are on the front lines of this epidemic.
Violence is down across Pennsylvania thanks to a focused effort and collaboration between local, state, and federal law enforcement and increased violence prevention work. But that doesn’t mean we are free from the horrors of gun violence. What happened in Philadelphia over this.
