Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate just hit 4.2% — the lowest rate in more than 20 years. This is big news. Business is booming and our job market is competitive. But that doesn't mean we should stop fighting to ensure all workers have the same fundamental protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania now supports more than 1,500 apprenticeship programs, overseeing 17,000 apprentices. More than 90 percent of apprentices remain employed after completing their training programs. I'm proud of the work we’ve done to support Pennsylvania’s workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I'm in Luzerne County to celebrate Pennsylvania’s apprenticeship programs. There’s a growing need for skilled workers. My administration has invested $35.5 million in apprenticeship training to help meet that need. https://t.co/8v6HX3UFa1 — PolitiTweet.org

I signed a first-of-its-kind Clean Slate Law, sealing the criminal records of 1.2 million Pennsylvanians.   Some of these folks had never even been convicted of a crime, and still had charges following them around. They deserve to move on, rent housing, and find jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve invested in re-entry and reducing recidivism. Most recently, I secured $2 million in this year’s budget to support women re-entering society after being in prison.   This was a passion project for my wife, Frances, who toured PA to meet women deserving of a second chance. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve signed 2,000 pardons — more than were signed in the 15 years before I took office combined.   And together we reached Pennsylvania’s lowest prison population in 20 years. — PolitiTweet.org

The war on drugs has done more harm than good — largely at the expense of Black and Brown Pennsylvanians.   We’re doing what we can to rectify that.   I’m working with @FettermanLt and @BoardofPardons to swiftly pardon Pennsylvanians with select, minor marijuana offenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

Today I’m in Philadelphia to talk about how we’re improving Pennsylvania’s criminal justice system.   Our system isn’t fair. It’s focused on maximum punishment without built-in chances for turning around lives.   This hurts all of us. https://t.co/iDc8V1jgvk — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to celebrate Hispanic Pennsylvanians. We're incredibly lucky to be a diverse commonwealth full of rich history and vibrant communities. #HispanicHeritageMonth — PolitiTweet.org

I'm excited to announce Pennsylvania will be one of the first states to receive funding for electric vehicle infrastructure.   $25.4 million will go toward our clean energy efforts.   Thank you @POTUS for helping us to address the global threat of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in Harrisburg today to celebrate the success of the renewed Senior Food Box Program. My admin simplified and increased accessibility. We’ve seen 20% more older adults participating than last year. No Pennsylvanian should go hungry, especially older adults on fixed incomes. https://t.co/hPoCgXcBeY — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, Lindsey Graham introduced an extreme bill that would ban abortion nationwide. This move would further control women's bodies and at the same time, strip rights from states. This crowd isn't "pro-life" or "pro-state rights." They're pro-force and anti-woman. — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers will receive a statutory annual cost-of-living raise to keep up with inflation. Pennsylvanians need one too. I urge the Republican-led legislature to send me a bill to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. https://t.co/I2sNdKavuy — PolitiTweet.org

Health care is a human right. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm at the @WhiteHouse today to celebrate the Inflation Reduction Act. Rising prices mean people are stretching paychecks further than ever. The Inflation Reduction Act will lower costs for prescription drugs, health care, and energy. This is a huge win for Pennsylvanians. — PolitiTweet.org

Owning a gun is a serious responsibility. It may be safe in the owner’s hands, but deadly when accessed by the wrong person. We must do everything we can to keep firearms out of the wrong hands. https://t.co/6QSK5ZqyXp — PolitiTweet.org

The House is in session this week. Time to pass my plan to send $2,000 checks to Pennsylvanians in need. This money will be life-changing for families across the commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

Every year on this day, we mourn a group of ordinary Americans who performed heroic acts. We will never forget the passengers and crew of Flight 93, who laid down their lives for people they had never met.   We honor their bravery and sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in Steelton to announce the new Universal Free Breakfast Program for the 2022-23 school year. My admin is investing $21.5M so students have access to a free, healthy breakfast. If your school participates in the national school lunch and breakfast program, you're eligible. https://t.co/ypoN5OYvsT — PolitiTweet.org

Today I'm at Volunteers of America Children’s Center in Allentown to celebrate my admin's increase in early childhood funding by $254M million since 2015. This has allowed more than 21,000 new slots to open up for Pennsylvania children in Pre-K Counts and Head Start programs. https://t.co/trYVE0w9O1 — PolitiTweet.org

Women suffer when abortion isn’t legal, safe, and accessible. This is a fact. It’s why I’ve fought — and will continue to fight — to keep abortion legal in Pennsylvania. https://t.co/gHLx6fsBBP — PolitiTweet.org

Queen Elizabeth II led a remarkable 70-year reign –– leaving behind a legacy that will not be forgotten. We send our condolences and join the people of the United Kingdom in paying our respects to an historic monarch. — PolitiTweet.org

I've called on the Republican-led General Assembly to pass a gift ban for all state lawmakers since January 2015. It's time for the legislature to do what is right: send me a comprehensive gift ban. https://t.co/zSxVdA0yNo — PolitiTweet.org
