PA women will lose $460k throughout their lifetime to gender wage discrimination. In 2018, I took executive action to close the gap for commonwealth workers: 🧾 Cut pay history from hiring 💪 Based pay on duties/skills 📃 Placed pay range on job posts Measures workers deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Guns are now the leading cause of death among U.S. kids. Yet, the only recent bill sent to my desk by our legislators would remove background checks and permits for secured carry. I vetoed it. Let's make it harder — not easier — for dangerous people to use guns to kill people. https://t.co/xOUm2TEjKY — PolitiTweet.org

11 injured and 3 dead in a shooting on South Street in Philadelphia last night. My thoughts are with those injured and the loved ones left mourning. Legislators: Enough gun violence. Enough deaths. Let’s act. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #CancerSurvivorsDay — a day to celebrate survivors, inspire people who have been recently diagnosed, and support families. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2017. I was lucky that it was caught early and I was given a clean bill of health. Screenings save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm committed to helping older Pennsylvanians age in place.   The SHARE program matches seniors who want to stay in their homes with qualified renters. Tenants get affordable rent. Seniors get help around the house. It's a win-win.   Learn more: https://t.co/44Ba00sTi1. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence isn't inevitable. It's propped up by the inaction of legislators. For years I've begged for safe storage legislation, red flag laws, universal background checks, and lost/stolen reporting requirements. Senseless deaths stack up as we wait. #GunViolenceAwarenessDay — PolitiTweet.org

Only a handful of companies nationwide make baby formula. Supporting new facilities like ByHeart is one way to help keep a formula shortage from ever happening again. ByHeart is getting formula to families while creating good-paying jobs for Pennsylvanians. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I’m at @byheartbaby in Reading to talk about what we’re doing to help during the nationwide baby formula shortage. ByHeart is the first U.S. formula manufacturer registered by the FDA in more than 15 years. We’ve committed $1.75 million to help ByHeart expand its facility. https://t.co/9gxHNp6j55 — PolitiTweet.org

I'll defend reproductive rights for every one of my final 230 days in office. Pennsylvania's next governor will take my place as the last line of defense against Republican-led attacks on abortion access. Elections matter. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in Pittsburgh today once again calling on our Republican-led legislature to send direct payments to Pennsylvanians. Under my plan, households earning <$80,000 will get up to $2,000. We're sitting on billions in use-it-or-lose-it federal aid. Pennsylvanians need help now. https://t.co/UtpZ2d0zuR — PolitiTweet.org

To the Philly students rallying against gun violence: I see you. You shouldn’t have to beg your legislators to keep you safe at school. We must close background check loopholes, enact red flag laws, add safe storage requirements, and strengthen mandatory reporting of lost guns. — PolitiTweet.org

The baby formula shortage is being fueled in part by the fact that only a handful of companies in the nation make baby formula. In Pennsylvania, we’re investing $1.75 million to support @byheartbaby — the first new US formula manufacturer in > 15 years. https://t.co/QvOYPki4OB — PolitiTweet.org

I can only do so much w/ executive power. We need legislation to prevent gun violence. Tell your legislators to: close background check loopholes, pass red flag laws, improve safe storage requirements, and require reporting of lost and stolen firearms. https://t.co/erM8VoFgMN — PolitiTweet.org

I'm angry. This week, 19 children and 2 teachers were shot and killed in a school in Uvalde, Texas. Also this week, Pennsylvania Democrats tried to force a vote on gun safety legislation. They were stopped by the Republican majority. — PolitiTweet.org

After providing nearly 100 million visitors a place to find mental and physical solace during the pandemic, our state parks are in dire need of investments. Pennsylvanians agree.
