OTD four years ago, I signed into law Act 10 of 2018 to protect victims of sexual violence. Under this law, Pennsylvania must keep a comprehensive list of sexual offenders. Protecting Pennsylvanians from violence is one of my top priorities as governor. — PolitiTweet.org

This project has been years in the making. With backing from the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we can finally move forward. I’m excited to bring Pennsylvania's infrastructure into the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I'm in Pittsburgh to announce improvements we’re making to freight and passenger rail service between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania’s railways are crucial for safe, efficient, and reliable transportation. https://t.co/txR537xwaO — PolitiTweet.org

It's Girl Scout Cookie Weekend. Since Girl Scout cookies were baked and sold for the first time in PA, I consider it my duty to keep a Thin Mint stash year-round in my desk at the Capitol. Good luck to our @girlscouts this season. I'm proud to support such a great organization. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s Caregivers Day. Pennsylvania’s caregivers make our commonwealth a better place through their selfless support of others. I’m thankful I was able to make their lives a little easier through the creation of caregiver supports. Learn more: https://t.co/QY83G0CbdT. — PolitiTweet.org

The charter school law we have in place is outdated and costly. We need to do better for our students. https://t.co/xKKqtKktnw — PolitiTweet.org

Restricting abortion risks lives — especially the lives of Black women. A person is 14x more likely to die carrying a pregnancy to term than having an abortion. Nationwide, the maternal death rate is 4x higher for Black women. We must keep abortion safe and legal. — PolitiTweet.org

This month I announced a $1.7 billion plan to help Pennsylvania fully recover from the pandemic through the American Rescue Plan Act. I urge the legislature to finally act and get this funding where it belongs: our communities, small businesses, and critical resources. https://t.co/lcA0n9GbIT — PolitiTweet.org

Workers on Pennsylvania's $7.25/hr minimum wage haven’t gotten a raise in thirteen years. Adjusted for inflation, they’ve actually taken a $2/hr pay cut. It's time to put workers on a path to $15. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I'm in Harrisburg to highlight the Nellie Bly Scholarship Program. This program will help students pursuing in-demand careers pay to attend community college and @statesystem schools. Pennsylvanians deserve these opportunities without taking on overwhelming debt. https://t.co/cUJMrntGvW — PolitiTweet.org

The January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol was an attack on democracy. Everyone who had a role must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

The average debt for a Pennsylvania college student is $39,000. This is a crisis. I'm once again proposing the Nellie Bly Scholarship Program. Let's give more Pennsylvanians the opportunity to get a degree without the overwhelming debt. https://t.co/4Tx8vsscEt — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, we established the bipartisan Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority to oversee and support broadband deployment across the state. And now, with new investments, it will help close the digital divide, lower costs, and bring new opportunities across PA. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

The lack of broadband in our communities is one of the biggest challenges holding Pennsylvania’s economy back. We cannot afford to allow the digital divide to widen. I’m deeply grateful to @SenBobCasey and the @POTUS admin for hearing our calls and securing federal funding. https://t.co/h5FmU2aArb — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago today, medical marijuana became available for Pennsylvanians. I'm proud to have signed medical marijuana into law. It brings relief to many people with medical conditions. I’m hoping we can soon legalize recreational marijuana, too. https://t.co/czpW3j5h0U — PolitiTweet.org

Pennsylvania teachers deserve a raise. This was true before the pandemic, and it's especially true now. Raising the minimum teacher salary is good for our educators and our students — but it's also an investment in Pennsylvania’s future workforce, economy, and infrastructure. https://t.co/nNdkTIJchs — PolitiTweet.org

Remembering the 17 lives lost four years ago today in the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. It's imperative that we do more to curb gun violence. In PA, we're awarding grants to frontline community violence prevention organizations. — PolitiTweet.org
