I thank this brave PA mom for sharing her story. For years I've called on the legislature to pass paid sick and parental leave. In 2020, I announced paid parental leave for all commonwealth employees. It's time everyone had sufficient paid time off. https://t.co/RE18T5cdC4 — PolitiTweet.org

The @PAHealthDept has been hard at work hosting vaccine clinics across PA — including this year's Farm Show where more than 400 attendees chose to get vaccinated. I'm so proud of every Pennsylvanian who has received a #COVID19 vaccine. Thank you for making PA safer. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m asking the legislature to pass bills: 🚪Closing firearm background check loopholes 🔒Requiring safe storage of firearms 🚩Providing a way to remove firearms from people in crisis 📢Requiring reporting of lost/stolen firearms Together we can cut down on gun violence in PA. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

I’ll veto House Bill 979. Recently passed by the state legislature, this bill would discourage local jurisdictions from passing laws to help curb gun violence. Gun violence deaths are on the rise. Our legislature should act to save lives instead of passing bills like this one. — PolitiTweet.org

My executive order is now in effect. I've raised the minimum wage for state employees to $15.00/hr — it's time the legislature #RaiseTheWage in Pennsylvania. Tell your legislators to send me SB 12 or HB 345: https://t.co/erM8VoWREl. https://t.co/XAWa3as9Au — PolitiTweet.org

The federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed by @POTUS will go a long way toward updating our aging bridges, roads, and facilities. But we must do more. We must come together at a state level to close the multi-million dollar infrastructure funding gap in Pennsylvania. https://t.co/Uvh6TgEn1t — PolitiTweet.org

I once again want to thank first responders for their heroic actions during Friday’s bridge collapse in Pittsburgh. It’s a miracle there were no serious injuries or deaths. @NTSB is conducting a thorough investigation on site — an effort being supported by @PennDOTnews. https://t.co/J79UGprHS2 — PolitiTweet.org

I signed a proclamation of disaster emergency for Allegheny County in response to the collapse of Fern Hollow Bridge. This bridge is a major throughway for commuter traffic and the disaster declaration ensures quick response for reconstruction. https://t.co/iP5nO9ilFc — PolitiTweet.org

My admin. just appealed and this ruling will not immediately impact mail-in voting. The GOP-controlled legislature passed Act 77 with bipartisan support, helping millions of voters. Now Republicans want to strip away mail-in voting for a big lie. We must protect voter freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

Shame on the Republican lawmakers who didn't support the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Pennsylvanian lives are on the line. It's long past time for the political games to come to an end. — PolitiTweet.org

Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro

We shouldn't have to rely on luck to keep people safe. I'm thankful to @POTUS, @SenBobCasey, & Democrats in the Congressional delegation who fought for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. These are life-changing investments in building and repairing our nation’s infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning a bridge collapsed in Pittsburgh. Multiple cars and a bus fell about 100ft down a hillside. There was also a large gas leak. First responders arrived quickly. Luckily there were no fatalities so far—they are still searching for possible victims under the collapse. https://t.co/8UxFGGsob8 — PolitiTweet.org

I've tried to #RaiseTheWage every year that I've been in office. No surprise — I'll be doing it again this year. I'm calling for an increase to $12/hr with a path to $15/hr for all PA workers. PA'ians are struggling to live in 2022 on a 2006 wage. We need change now. https://t.co/nfm4k7Zjso — PolitiTweet.org

I'm happy to visit the @eriekidsmuseum, an anchor of downtown Erie for more than 20 years. We're investing $5 million to help the museum renovate its existing 100-year-old building and add an outdoor space. This will benefit a growing community full of families and children. https://t.co/Ikn46ACgce — PolitiTweet.org

In 2019 I visited Holocaust memorials in Lithuania and Poland. In a guestbook, I wrote the names of 11 Pennsylvanians lost in the antisemitic attack on Tree of Life synagogue. We cannot forget history and must never forget the lives lost to hate. #HolocaustRemembranceDay https://t.co/pPT4WF4geR — PolitiTweet.org

My administration launched a workgroup to bring Democrats and Republicans together to make this legislation a reality. We’re deploying strike teams to help hospitals, standing up COVID testing sites, and adding decompression sites for hospitals and long-term care facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of the bipartisan effort that got House Bill 253 to my desk. I signed it yesterday to put $225 million in the hands of our health care workforce. This funding will be used to recruit and retain health care staff, and forgive nurses' student loans. https://t.co/oh2eb6ZIR7 — PolitiTweet.org

Since I took office, there have been six anti-abortion bills introduced by members of Pennsylvania’s General Assembly. I have vetoed the three bills placed on my desk for signature and vowed to veto the rest. I'll veto any new attempts to restrict access to abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm taking executive action to increase the minimum wage for state employees to $15.00/hr beginning this Monday. Our minimum wage must keep up with the realities of the cost of living. I urge the legislature to #RaiseTheWage for all Pennsylvanians. $7.25/hr isn't enough. https://t.co/HUs0Oiq9Lw — PolitiTweet.org
