When Pennsylvanians need help, they turn to our firefighters, police officers, and EMTs.

That’s why we need to invest in our first responders and law enforcement and give them the tools they need to get the job done.

Yesterday, we honored the memory and service of Trooper Jay Rougeau Jr., and every fallen trooper’s life in service — and we reaffirmed that we will never, ever forget.

I was proud to join Jay’s fellow troopers from Troops J and G, his wife Chloe, his mother Angela, and his…

My Administration is committed to addressing the rising rates of maternal mortality in our Commonwealth and across our country — something that's impacting Black mothers disproportionately.

One in five girls lack access to pads and tampons in school, resulting in some having to miss class or leave school early. 
 
We should not be okay with this. 
 
My budget invests $3 million to make pads and tampons available at no costs in schools.

Thousands of Pennsylvanians have lost a loved one to gun violence — and too many young people live with that trauma every day.

It doesn't have to be this way.

That's why yesterday, I joined Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis, Republican and Democratic elected officials, and gun violence survivors…

Pennsylvanians deserve to be safe and feel safe in their communities. 
 
That’s why in my first year in office, we secured funding for 400 new PA State Police troopers.  
 
And after a 258% increase in applications, my budget this year calls for another 400 new troopers. 
 
Now is…

Our fallen PA State Police troopers made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Ensuring that Pennsylvanians feel safe and are safe in their communities shouldn't be a partisan issue — we should all come together to keep Pennsylvanians safe.

Republican and Democratic county election officials have been calling on the Legislature to allow pre-canvassing of mail-in ballots for years — and I'm glad to see the House take this commonsense step today.

I'm a Governor for all Pennsylvanians — and I'll work with anyone to create more jobs for the good people of PA.

Because when a company like Martin’s Martin's Potato Rolls succeed, they create more opportunity for folks across our Commonwealth.

It’s a win-win.
