It’s Election Day, Pennsylvania! Polls are open from now until 8 PM. If you’re a registered voter, find your polling place or mail ballot drop-off location to hand deliver your ballot at

Donald Trump consistently threatens the very freedoms that make us who we are as Americans: The right to marry who you love, make decisions about your own body, and participate in our democracy — whether in person or by mail. My promise to you is that I will always protect your fundamental freedoms here in Pennsylvania — no matter who or what stands in the way.

UPDATE: Our Freeze Disaster Assistance Recovery Grants begin hitting farmers’ bank accounts TODAY. I promised our growers that we would work to get this relief out as soon as possible — and we’re delivering just in time for harvest season. I know that this $10 million isn’t going to completely offset the financial hit that our fruit growers are taking to their bottom line this fall, but it’s a start. And we’ll be there every step of the way as they work to get back on their feet and fully recover.

REMINDER: Tomorrow is Election Day. No matter what nonsense you hear from the President, I want every eligible Pennsylvania voter to know that your vote will be counted whether you voted by mail or in person — and the will of the people will be respected here in our Commonwealth. Make your plan to vote here:

The Constitution is clear: The President doesn’t run elections here in Pennsylvania — or in any state. So when he tried to undermine your right to vote by mail, we took him to court — and we won. Whether you choose to vote in person or by mail, your vote will be protected here in Pennsylvania. And no matter what Donald Trump tries next, I’ll be ready to stand up for your right to make your voice heard.

Halloween came to Harrisburg early — and Lori and I had so much fun hosting trick-or-treaters tonight at the Governor’s Residence. And yes, this is a full-size candy bar household. 🍫

The Trump Administration just weakened rules designed to keep dangerous methane gas from leaking out of oil and gas wells and into our communities, making it easier for bad actors to take advantage of our rural communities. Here in Pennsylvania, we know that you don’t have to choose between creating energy jobs and protecting our environment. We’ve plugged 500 abandoned oil and gas wells — more than the previous 12 years combined — and we’re strengthening our standards to ensure companies follow the law and protect Pennsylvanians’ health. I’m prepared to fight back on this reckless move — and in the meantime, no matter what the Trump Administration does, we’ll keep working to plug these dangerous wells, reduce methane pollution, and protect Pennsylvanians’ clean air and pure water.

BREAKING: We just won in court to stop the Trump Administration from ripping Medicaid away from the Pennsylvanians who need it most. Donald Trump and RFK Jr. clearly don't give a damn about the people who rely on Medicaid to get the care they need — but we do here in Pennsylvania. I'll continue standing up to protect our most vulnerable Pennsylvanians and make sure they can access the health care they deserve.

No one, not even a Governor, can completely offset Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs and war of choice in Iran that have sent the cost of groceries, gas, and other essentials soaring. But I can promise you this: I will do everything in my power to make life more affordable. I’m going to keep working to cut taxes, create jobs, and put more money back in your pocket — no matter what.

As long as I’m Governor, I will protect your fundamental freedoms in Pennsylvania. The freedom to choose. The freedom to marry who you love. The freedom to organize. The freedom to participate in our democracy. I won’t let anyone — including Donald Trump — stand in the way of your rights.

We can’t act like a four-year degree is the only way our kids will be able to find a good-paying job that excites them. That’s just not the case. The fact is, in 2026, some jobs in the trades and the culinary arts pay MORE than those that require a college degree. We’ve worked here in Pennsylvania to show young adults that there are a lot of pathways to success. And since the day I took office, we’ve invested 60% more into those pathways through career and technical education courses, vo-tech, and apprenticeship programs — so more students can discover fields that they never would have considered pursuing before.

While Donald Trump creates chaos and raises prices on essentials like food, gas, and health care — we’re working hard to lower costs. Last week, I signed a bipartisan bill into law that makes housing more affordable for renters by limiting the amount a landlord can charge you just to fill out an application. No more predatory fees. Having a safe, affordable place to call home creates more opportunity across our Commonwealth — we’re making it just a little bit easier here in Pennsylvania.

No matter what wild claims you may hear from Donald Trump and his allies about our elections — remember that it’s all noise. He’s trying to stoke chaos and sow confusion to get the results that he wants. I want every eligible voter in Pennsylvania to know: you can vote safely and securely in next week’s election — whether you choose to vote in person or by mail.

Eight years ago today, we suffered the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history when a killer entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh while people prayed and murdered 11 of our neighbors. It’s been 2,922 days since the attack, but the pain still lingers in our Commonwealth. Today we offer prayers of comfort to those touched by this violence. Let today be a moment for action, remembrance, and resolve to combat antisemitism in all forms. May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger forever be a blessing.
