Comms for @GovernorShapiro | Always looking for new hikes and a good bagel. RTs ≠ endorsements.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Putting pen to paper as I sign the initial pieces of the 2026-27 budget.

We’ve got more work to do, but I’ll keep pushing to deliver for Pennsylvanians.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

HUGE NEWS: We’ve partnered with @FWC26Philly to distribute 700 FREE match tickets to 19 community organizations — giving more Pennsylvanians from across our Commonwealth the opportunity to be a part of the biggest sporting event in the world.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

WATCH NOW: I just wrapped up a productive meeting with Ontario Premier @fordnation where we discussed how we’ll make the economic partnership between our Commonwealth and the Province of Ontario even stronger.

Join us as we reaffirm our commitment to growing our economies, attracting investment, and creating more opportunity for Pennsylvanians and Ontarians alike.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

This was preventable.

But Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans prioritized tax cuts for those at the very top over health care for Pennsylvanians.

[Rosie Lapowsky @rosielapowsky]

More jobs, more opportunity.

LIVE from Lebanon County: @GovernorShapiro celebrates @SCHOTT_AG's $60 million expansion in Pennsylvania: 

 "After not being on the field of competition for a lot of years here in the Commonwealth, we are competing again and we are winning big deals."

Shapiro: I was shocked when we discovered that within minutes of presenting ourselves as individuals who were in distress, this chatbot began dispensing medical advice.

When pressed further, the chatbot indicated that it was indeed a licensed medical professional in Pennsylvania. And when pressed further, it said, “Hey, here’s my medical ID number.”

That is against the law in Pennsylvania, and so we took action.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

This bill will keep our workers safe, make our rail infrastructure more secure, and support our first responders.

Thank you @RepDeluzio for refusing to give up the fight for Western PA. Let’s get this passed into law.

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

I am horrified by the attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego — another senseless act of violence against our Muslim neighbors who were simply gathered to practice their faith.

Violence of any kind in a house of worship has no place in this country. All of us have a responsibility to unequivocally condemn this type of horror and take steps in our own communities to show that we are stronger than hate.

Lori and I are praying for the victims, their families, the entire San Diego Muslim community, and our Muslim neighbors here in Pennsylvania.

MUST WATCH: @GovernorShapiro on political division in America during @pennlaw's Commencement Address: 

"The solution for curing the divisions of America is to refuse to become part of them... and instead, to use your unique talents to cure those ills."

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Here in Pennsylvania, we combat fraud wherever we find it.

In 2024, we charged 119 cases of Medicaid fraud — recovering more than $11 million for taxpayers.

We’re a national leader when it comes to stopping fraud. So let's finally pass the False Claims Act to give ourselves another tool to help prosecute more fraud committed by providers who game the system instead of serving Pennsylvanians.

Asked @GovernorShapiro why Pennsylvania is the perfect place to host major golf tournaments & why sports are part of the fabric of PA.

.@GovernorShapiro at the @PGAChampionship:

"We are so proud to be hosting the PGA Championship right here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania... it's pretty extraordinary that golf plays such a central role in tourism, in hospitality, and outdoor rec here in Pennsylvania."

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

As Attorney General, I led a Grand Jury investigation that uncovered thousands of cases of sexual assault, identified hundreds of predator priests, and exposed a coverup that went all the way to the Vatican.

Yesterday, the Pennsylvania State Police charged another predator priest with horrific crimes — where once again, an authority figure weaponized religion and power to abuse.

The many survivors I have met over the years and the victims who came forward in this case have shown remarkable courage in sharing their truths.

I will continue to fight for justice for survivors and I am grateful to the State Police for listening to those who came forward and following the law without fear or favor.

"After a strong run of major golf events in the state, Pennsylvania officials are making plans to pursue the PGA Tour. “I really do want the PGA Tour at Cobbs Creek,” says Pennsylvania Deputy Secretary of Tourism Anne Ryan. “I’m obsessed with it.”" #PoliticsPA

NEWS: Loews Hotels is building a brand new hotel at the Convention Center right in the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh — bringing hundreds of millions in investment and thousands of jobs to the Steel City.

We just hosted the largest NFL Draft in history, where more than 800,000 people saw for themselves how vibrant, welcoming, and prosperous the Golden Triangle is.

Now that the draft is over, we're not slowing down. We're just as committed to Downtown Pittsburgh's success — and we're going to keep working with local leaders like @ACE_Innamorato and @CoreyOConnorPA to invest in Western Pennsylvania.
