48th Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Abandoned wells pollute our air and waterways, threatening the health of our families, farms, and communities. We've taken action and plugged over 400 wells in the last 3.5 years — more than the previous 11 years combined.

Pennsylvania just jumped FOUR spots on CNBC’s Top States for Business rankings — that’s the highest we’ve been ranked in 15 years AND the best ranking of any Northeast state. What we’re doing to grow our economy and create new jobs is working. This is proof.

For years, Pennsylvanians like Cheryl have been advocating for a cost of living adjustment to ensure pensions keep up with inflation for state retirees who retired before 2001 — firefighters, cops, teachers, and public servants who haven’t seen their pensions increase in over 25 years.

ANOTHER MAJOR PRIVATE SECTOR INVESTMENT SECURED ⬇️ Dozens of new jobs are coming to Armstrong County after we secured Brunk Industries’ $31.7 million investment to expand their manufacturing business in Armstrong County.

Under my Administration, Pennsylvania has seen record economic growth. We aren’t just competing for major deals again — we’re winning them. As a result, we were ranked one of the top states in the Northeast for regional economic competitiveness. And there’s more to come.

🚨Pennsylvania is ranked one of the BEST states in the nation to start a business. That’s a direct result of the work we’ve done to slash red tape, cut taxes, and grow our workforce. This is how we create real opportunity in communities across our Commonwealth.

This report confirms what we knew to be true: that bringing the NFL Draft to Pittsburgh would deliver major returns. Hundreds of thousands of fans and business leaders got to see for themselves all the Steel City has to offer — and $177 MILLION poured into the region as a result.

Pennsylvania has become a national leader in economic development. Our small businesses are a big part of that success. Small businesses are the beating hearts of our communities — and major drivers in our local economies.

Pennsylvania is on the rise. GE Vernova’s $166 million investment in Washington County is just the latest proof point. As a result of their investment, we’ll create more power AND more energy here in Western PA — which means more freedom and more opportunity.

FACT: Pennsylvania is home to 48,800 farms. FACT: Nearly 600,000 Pennsylvanians work in agriculture. FACT: Agriculture contributes $132 billion to our Commonwealth’s economy every year.

Every Pennsylvanian deserves to get the mental health support that they need. That's why, over the last 3.5 years, we've expanded mental health resources in our counties, schools, and crisis centers.

Since I took office, we’ve more than DOUBLED state funding for violence prevention programs. And the budget I just signed includes another $62 million for these programs through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency — including an additional $11.5 million for BOOST.

As a result of our historic investments in economic development, we’ve created more than 25,000 new jobs and brought over $41 billion in private sector investment to Pennsylvania — more than the previous 15 years combined.

The upgrades we’ve made to over 1,700 traffic signals across our Commonwealth have made a huge difference on our roads, helping Pennsylvanians get where they need to go safely and on time. That’s why we just secured another $38 million across 86 municipalities to improve even more.
