Pennsylvanians can’t afford to wait. So I ask the General Assembly to work with me — immediately — to get these funds into the pockets of Pennsylvanians who need help right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I also want to bring back the COVID-19 Relief Statewide Small Business Assistance Program. I'm calling on the General Assembly to invest $225 million of our unspent federal funds in this program. An investment in small business is an investment in our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

My plan uses $1.7 billion in American Rescue Plan funding to support workers, families, and businesses. We don’t have to raise taxes one penny to do it. In fact, I want to lower the Corporate Net Income Tax, to take pressure off businesses and encourage growth. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

COVID and rising prices have made it hard for Pennsylvanians and small businesses to get back on their feet. The good news? We have a plan and more than $2 billion in unspent federal aid. The bad news? Our Republican legislature refuses to use the money. — PolitiTweet.org

Great news, thank you to the Biden Admin. for putting students first. The Action Plan for Building Better Schools falls in line with priorities I've held for PA. This new plan will have an incredible impact by making schools nationwide cleaner, safer, and more energy efficient. — PolitiTweet.org

It's past time that American Rescue Plan Act funding is put back into our communities. My plan would supercharge support for older Pennsylvanians and individuals with disabilities. I urge the legislature to send me a bill to put federal funds to work. https://t.co/tCm3D7E0d4 — PolitiTweet.org

I set a goal to reduce emissions in Pennsylvania. This is how we curb the climate crisis: 🏭 Join RGGI 🏙 Enhance building standards 🔋 Swap to renewable energy sources 🔌 Encourage electric vehicles 🏠 Boost home and commercial energy efficiency 💩 Capture more biogenic methane — PolitiTweet.org

We must do more to stop these horrific shootings. Frances and I are praying for the victim and the Erie High School community. I thank our first responders and law enforcement for their swift actions and ongoing efforts to protect the community. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I am deeply disturbed by the violent shooting that took place at Erie High School today. Students, faculty and staff deserve to feel safe in their school and community, yet gun violence continues to impact all corners of our commonwealth. — PolitiTweet.org

This summer, the Supreme Court can either uphold Roe v. Wade and protect abortion rights or dismantle the historic ruling. Since 1973, Roe has stood strong against all manner of attacks on women’s rights. We must uphold Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/XbPxwL8gTX — PolitiTweet.org

Our commonwealth's greatest amenity is in critical need of infrastructure funding. 42 million people visited our state parks last year. My proposals would help keep our outdoor spaces open for all. https://t.co/Y7SCopO5s8 — PolitiTweet.org

Today in New Mexico the sale of legalized marijuana began. And in Washington D.C. a bill legalizing it nationwide just passed the House. I’m pro-legalization in PA but I've been waiting on our legislature to send me a bill. It's time to legalize marijuana and restore justice. — PolitiTweet.org
