Abortion is health care.
And those health care decisions should be made by a woman and her doctor — not by the federal government, and certainly not by Donald Trump.
So long as I’m Governor, abortion will remain safe, legal, and accessible here in Pennsylvania. And I will always protect a woman’s fundamental freedom to make her own decisions about her body.

No one can survive in 2026 making $7.25 an hour. Let me put that in real terms: If you work a 40-hour work week, that’s a little over $15,000 a year. That’s not sustainable.
Despite that fact, another legislative session has come and gone — and while the House has voted repeatedly to raise the minimum wage, Republicans in the State Senate left town again and refused to even bring a minimum wage bill up for a vote.
It’s not okay. It’s time to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania.

Unlike Donald Trump, we don’t believe stoking fear and creating chaos keeps anyone safe.
We do things differently in Pennsylvania and it’s working: Violent crime is down 16% and homicides are down 39% across PA — because we’ve invested in both law enforcement AND community violence prevention programs.
I know that there are Pennsylvanians who are horrified by what they’re seeing out of Washington. But hear me when I say: That will never be the path we take as long as I am Governor of this Commonwealth.

With all of the chaos, cruelty, and corruption coming out of D.C., I get why people think government just isn’t working for them anymore.
Here in Pennsylvania, we’re charting a better path forward — and this week is just one example.
I signed 58 bipartisan bills into law yesterday to address some of the pressing problems Pennsylvanians face every day — affordability, safety (both in their communities AND from AI), access to health care, and so much more.
That’s what public service should be about.

There’s one reason — and one reason only — why the minimum wage here in Pennsylvania is still $7.25:
The @PASenateGOP.
And they just left town AGAIN without getting it done.

BREAKING: I just signed into law a bipartisan bill that requires real transparency when it comes to AI use in advertising.
Pennsylvanians deserve to know if and when AI is being used in ads — and now, thanks to this new law, any advertisement in the Commonwealth that uses AI technology must make that crystal clear.

NEWS: I just signed 58 bipartisan bills into law. We're getting stuff done for Pennsylvanians.
From bringing down costs, to protecting against the dangers of AI, to supporting members of law enforcement and first responders, and expanding access to health care — we’re taking nefit Pennsylvanians. I just signed 58 examples.
That’s how government should work. That’s GSD.

Let me translate this headline for you: The Trump Administration is abandoning their commitment to help states when disaster strikes.
In a crisis, Pennsylvanians should have the peace of mind knowing that someone will be there to help them. My Administration is taking action to keep people safe.
I signed an Executive Order earlier this year that created a new task force of experts to lead this effort — and they’re already hard at work. Here in Pennsylvania, we'll stand ready to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters — no matter what the federal government does next.

Our families, farmers, and small businesses have all taken a hit because of Donald Trump. From his reckless tariffs to his war of choice in Iran, the President’s decisions are raising prices and making your day-to-day more expensive.
I know you’re pissed — and frankly, I am too.
When we see this chaos at the federal level, you might feel like government isn’t working anymore. Or, in Donald Trump’s case, government is only working for him and his friends.
But here in Pennsylvania, we’ve brought Democrats and Republicans together to cut taxes TEN TIMES. And we’re taking care of Pennsylvanians — fixing roads quickly, helping farmers who have lost their crops, getting K-5 students recess and every student free breakfast, putting more money in retired public servants’ pockets, helping out student teachers, our nurses, and more….
I want every Pennsylvanian who is struggling right now to know: No matter what Donald Trump tries next, I’ll never stop working to make sure that here in Pennsylvania — government works for you.

BREAKING: The PA House and Senate just officially passed a bell-to-bell ban to get cell phones out of our classrooms.
I called for this in my Budget Address and repeatedly urged the legislature to act — and now, we've brought Democrats and Republicans together to get this done for our students and our educators.
It's time to get back to the basics in school and let our kids be kids.

It’s 2026, and there are still a lot of Pennsylvanians who don’t have access to reliable, high-speed internet because of something called the digital divide.
Here’s what we’re doing to close it once and for all. Let me explain.

Today, I joined fallen Officer Shane Seiber’s family, his loved ones, his @PhillyPolice brothers and sisters, and the entire City of Philadelphia in honoring his memory and life of service.
Officer Seiber was a true public servant, and he was the best of us. He cared deeply ves better — and he demonstrated that by choosing to live a life of service. He served two tours in Iraq with the United States Air Force — and even after he returned to civilian life, he continued his commitment to serving others when he decided to become a police officer with the Philadelphia Police Department.
As I’ve listened to stories about Shane from some of the officers who served with him, it struck me how his kindness shone through in every memory they shared. To them, he was known as “Colgate” for his big smile that could light up any room. He was a team player — someone who you could always count on to have your back.
For 10 years, Shane put on the uniform and the badge every day, kissed his family goodbye, and left home to protect and serve his neighbors. While his life was cut far too short, we all have a collective responsibility to come together and remember his life of service and the ultimate sacrifice he made to keep his community safe.
Policing is a noble profession, and those who take on the incredibly difficult task of protecting our communities deserve our profound gratitude and deep respect.
Lori and I join this community in praying for Shane’s wife Lisa, their two kids — Finn and Emily — his mother Michelle, his stepfather, Nelson, his brothers John and Max, and his sister Sophia — along with all of Shane’s family and everyone who loved him.
May God offer you comfort and strength in this time of mourning, and may Officer Shane Seiber’s memory forever be a blessing.

Donald Trump tried to prevent Pennsylvania voters from making their voices heard in this election by attempting to limit mail-in voting.
We took him to court to protect your right to vote by mail — and we won.
As a result, every eligible voter in Pennsylvania can safely and securely cast their ballot by mail this November.

Here’s something to be hopeful about on this Monday: Every single K-5 student in Pennsylvania will have mandatory recess starting next school year.
Just the latest way we’re doing right by our kids and improving public education here in Pennsylvania.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system here in Pennsylvania — but right now, we’re facing a critical nursing shortage across the Commonwealth.
That’s why last week we launched the Nurse Shortage Assistance Program — where hospitals partner with local nurse education programs and offer students guaranteed jobs after graduation. This Commonwealth program will also help those nurses pay off up to $60,000 of student loan debt.
Real experience. A guaranteed job. Lower debt to help them pay their bills.
We’ve seen this same model succeed in getting more qualified teachers in our classrooms — now we’re using it to get more qualified nurses in our hospitals.
