As Pennsylvania’s first Black lieutenant governor, I'm always conscious of the people who paved the way for me. I know that I stand on the shoulders of giants -- and Congressman Dwight Evans is one of those giants. Dwight was the first African-American candidate to run for

Across the southeast, Pennsylvanians rely on mass transit to get to school, work, the doctor's office, and more but without state investment, SEPTA would be forced to make the service cuts permanent, displacing thousands of riders from their commutes and completely disrupting

The Senate in D.C. has just passed one of the most dangerous and destructive bills we've seen in modern memory.    Thousands of Pennsylvanians will lose health care, children will go hungry, rural hospitals will close, clean energy is gutted, and high-quality education is at risk

One of the top priorities of the Shapiro-Davis administration is making housing more affordable for Pennsylvanians.     In this budget, we’ve proposed allocating $10 million to help first-time home buyers with closing costs, making homeownership more accessible and building

There is no scenario where the passage of the Congressional Republicans’ reconciliation bill will not cut off health care and food assistance to Pennsylvanians - and the Commonwealth will not be able to afford to fill the gaps. I again strongly urge our Pennsylvania congressmen

Public transit is more than just moving people from place to place. It’s a steady job with good benefits and good pay for so many — not just in the southeast but for union workers in every county in Pennsylvania. The service cuts we are seeing will result in union job loss if

Government is supposed to lift people up, not make it harder to live in this country. Our elected representatives have a responsibility to the people of this great Commonwealth and ensure that we can all live the American dream - not tear it away from some of us.

This is the most destructive bill Congress has passed in American history. To specifically target our most vulnerable populations and take away health care and food assistance of hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanias is egregious and we must hold these leaders accountable.

Today, Congressional Republicans in Washington decided to give tax breaks to billionaires at the expensive of Pennsylvanians and working families across the nation. This absurdly cruel and unconscionable bill will be felt in every county of this Commonwealth and those that

Here in Pennsylvania, we know a thing or two about independence and freedom.   Since 1776, Pennsylvanians have answered the call, demanding freedom and fighting against injustice so that every American in this nation can chart their own course in life and live their American

My heart goes out to the families in Texas whose lives will forever be changed because of this weekend's absolutely devastating flash flooding.   As our climate worsens, we will see more devastating and deadly weather events throughout the U.S. – and it's why the National Weather

Investing in public transit means investing in the shared ride services, regional rails, city bus systems, and subway lines that connect people with public life, leading to fuller and enriched lives for everyone.   We must fund our public transit systems here in Pennsylvania.

The gun violence we saw this weekend in Philadelphia, and across Pennsylvania, should never be normalized in this Commonwealth.     Everyday this administration is working to reduce gun violence by supporting the programs and the people who are on the front lines of this epidemic

This is a big deal. Now licensed nurses, doctors, and physical therapists from over 40 states can join our workforce in a fraction of the time and provide care in the Commonwealth.   Pennsylvania is laser-focused on cutting red tape, creating opportunities, and getting stuff done
