Children are going to school hungry right now. How can we expect them to pay attention in class, learn, and succeed if they haven't eaten all day? We can't. I want to give free breakfast to every child in public school across Pennsylvania. We must help our kids succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

We have to break down barriers and invest in communities that have been left out of our shared prosperity. It’s not only the right thing to do, but it's the smart thing to do. And this is how we’ll create jobs and grow the economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

It's unfair that in rural communities, too many lack access to health care, affordable high-speed internet, and capital. It’s unfair that Black and Latino-owned businesses are twice as likely to be denied a loan. https://t.co/ATL838NI5U — PolitiTweet.org

If we want to plant a flag and say we are going to be a leader in innovation, job creation, and economic development, then we need to lower costs for business. https://t.co/acvM2YgmtQ — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We have to believe in people — and invest in those serving on the front lines keeping our communities safe and healthy. We have to invest in folks like Cadet Jermaine Graham. https://t.co/BGHLjykkbE — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Let’s make it a little easier to become a trooper, a police officer, a nurse, or a teacher in Pennsylvania. My budget will put up to $2,500 back in their pockets every year for up to three years to encourage more folks to join their ranks. https://t.co/XTm49YEjdU — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s expand the Property Tax Rent Rebate Program for our seniors and for disabled Pennsylvanians — because for folks on a fixed income, this is a lifeline. https://t.co/2Ec55aLpSp — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I remember the moms in Erie who told me their cell phone bill — with lines for their entire family — is the single largest monthly bill the pay.  They need some help. My budget delivers for them. https://t.co/VqSSXmrUHq — PolitiTweet.org

My Administration has a comprehensive plan to invest in apprenticeship programs, expand vo-tech, and bring career and technical education back into our classrooms. Read more about it here: https://t.co/9PlZVTUfBh — PolitiTweet.org

Freddy traveled thousands of miles in search of opportunity, and he’s found it in a stable future through an apprenticeship here in Pennsylvania. There are so many more kids who should have the opportunity to follow Freddy’s path. https://t.co/sONuwoGgcv — PolitiTweet.org

It shouldn’t be alright with anyone — especially when we’re talking about a $44 billion budget — that children are going without meals. That's why, I'm proposing universal free breakfast in our schools to ensure students aren't learning on empty stomachs. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

75% are from kids reaching out with mental health issues for themselves and their friends. Students need someone who can help. My budget invests half a billion dollars in mental health over the next five years to fund mental health counselors and services on site. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

As Attorney General, I started Safe2Say — an anonymous system for students to report threats of violence. Since we launched the program five years ago, we’ve received over 100,000 tips — but most aren't about violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We're taking action to prevent violence and stop the cycle of anger and grief that is swallowing our communities. We have to invest in public safety. https://t.co/k4jewf71wx — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We can’t do this work alone. Local municipal governments and county governments are on the frontlines of our efforts for healthier, safer, stronger communities. They should have the resources they need to serve our communities. https://t.co/0NoQM7LuVf — PolitiTweet.org

She needs to know that her Commonwealth gives a damn about her and her students — and my budget proposal makes clear that we do. — PolitiTweet.org

Ms. Porter is a third-grade teacher from Pittsburgh. She works every day to ensure her students have access to a quality education and a safe learning environment. https://t.co/9hq48lX6co — PolitiTweet.org

This program provides much needed help and for our neighbors who are struggling to keep up with rising prices — and we're moving quickly to get these funds out the door. Thank you @SenatorSaval, legislators, and advocates who led on this initiative. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today, we're issuing the first payments of the Whole-Home Repairs Program — over $2 million to Lackawanna and Wayne Counties. Too many are struggling to keep up with rising prices. This is about making sure people living paycheck to paycheck can afford to maintain their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We're lucky. @LTGDavis — PolitiTweet.org

It's also the birthday of our good friend and Pennsylvania's Second Lady, Blayre Holmes Davis. Happy Birthday, Blayre. https://t.co/BpQQeEIWJD — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Birthday to Pennsylvania's First Lady — my wife, and the mother to our four kids — Lori. I love you, Lori! https://t.co/qG74k3XPqZ — PolitiTweet.org

We have an opportunity to pass a budget that delivers results and solves the problems the people of Pennsylvania face every single day. There are some issues that are nonstarters for me, let’s focus instead on the challenges this budget seeks to address. https://t.co/hkBbyy510L — PolitiTweet.org

My budget would nearly double the number of seniors who qualify for the Property Tax Rent Rebate, and many of the 400,000 people who already qualify – people like Gaylene – will see their rebates nearly double. These are our neighbors – let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Gaylene is a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. She's earned three degrees and had become an active volunteer in her community. She depends on the Property Tax Rent Rebate to stay in her home, but it's been 17 years since the program was updated. https://t.co/GJGCu3R5m8 — PolitiTweet.org

And, I agree with @PittChancellor that: “Pennsylvanians have waited long enough.” I’m determined to keep the doors of opportunity open for generations to come. https://t.co/B9EGGtCm57 — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We need to have an honest dialogue about higher education in Pennsylvania. That’s why I've tasked Acting @PDESecretary with convening our college and university leaders to have a conversation and create a comprehensive plan to reform higher education here in our Commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I’ve been inspired everywhere I go by the way young people today speak so openly about mental health issues and about the need for more treatment. Mental health has been an afterthought for too long. We need a comprehensive solution, and https://t.co/EMszfj3I98… — PolitiTweet.org
