    Let’s be crystal clear about what transpired over the past several weeks. We negotiated and reached an agreement with Governor Shapiro. 1/5

    Governor Shapiro failed to deliver on his promise to support PASS scholarships to help some of the most vulnerable kids in the Commonwealth. Trust matters in Harrisburg, so the governor abusing our good faith will certainly impact our ability to negotiate going forward. 5/5

    He failed spectacularly, and then gutted our agreement. He took the first escape hatch he could find to avoid taking the blame for his failure to lead. It is unconscionable that the governor backed out of our negotiated agreement. 4/5

    It is possible to take this public health threat seriously and still believe that the governor’s inconsistent restrictions go too far. His new restrictions will throw more people into a deeply flawed unemployment system that has been unable to handle capacity.

    He understood House Democrats were not serious parties to budget negotiations as their demands kept going higher each time, with their last demand being $750 million above our agreed-to spend number. 2/5

    The Governor informed the House Majority Leader that he and his team would negotiate directly with Senate Republicans to get the final deal. Governor Shapiro’s responsibility was to get House Democrats on board with the deal he negotiated. 3/5

    This afternoon, Governor Wolf vetoed House Bill 2787. Since this legislation passed both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support, it’s important that the General Assembly begin the veto override process as soon as possible.

    “Far too many residents of [PA] are questioning the validity of their votes or have doubt that the process was conducted fairly, securely and produced accurate results. We must act to ensure integrity is restored to voting through this bipartisan effort.”

    Today we celebrated the creation of 100 girls wrestling programs in PA – the milestone necessary for the sport to be sanctioned by the PIAA statewide. Thanks to all the advocates who fought to make this dream a reality! #girlswrestling #SanctionPA @PA_GirlsWrestle @USAWrestling
