  1. I've taken executive action to strengthen environmental justice efforts in Pennsylvania, and I'm thankful shares my commitment. Funding will bolster our efforts to address environmental concerns and build healthier communities for all Pennsylvanians.

  2. All Pennsylvanians should live in a clean and healthy environment. Communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately home to contaminated sites.

  3. I'm with at the Clearview Landfill in Philadelphia to tour one of 49 backlogged projects to be cleared nationwide through the bipartisan infrastructure law. Sites like this one are a threat to public health, and too many of them are located in vulnerable communities.

  4. We need to make sure that financial burdens don’t keep our best and brightest from taking on some of our most important jobs. Thank you to , , and for pushing for this change.

  5. This is a critical step to making sure our public servants get the relief they've earned — without a surprise bill. For example, now a Pennsylvanian with $50,000 in student loans forgiven through PSLF will avoid a $1,535 state income tax bill.

  6. Today, I’m proud to announce that Pennsylvanians will not have to pay state income tax on the student loan debt relief they get from the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and the Pennsylvania Student Loan Relief for Nurses Program.

  10. I’m in Scranton to celebrate my administration’s recent $12 million investment in Lackawanna County. Grants we’ve awarded will strengthen the county's education, workforce, health care, and economic development. I remain committed to supporting good jobs and strong communities.

  11. There are far too many empty chairs around holiday dinner tables this year. These chairs should be filled with loved ones who tragically lost their lives to gun violence. Legislation preventing gun violence is a life-or-death issue. Let’s get to work.

  12. Today I'm in Scranton to make a plea to the legislature: Put PA workers first. Too many workers aren’t being paid a living wage, getting paid time off, or being kept safe in the workplace. My worker protection plan will ensure these critical needs are being met––pass this plan.

  13. I'm proud of these bipartisan efforts that have helped voters since 2015. Republican leaders have wasted 2021 chasing deceptive election measures fueled by conspiracy theories. It's time to build on the election freedoms Pennsylvanians have embraced. Let's move forward.

  15. Many of our neighboring states offer paid family leave. Pennsylvanians deserve it, too. Tell your legislator it's time to make jobs better for Pennsylvanians.

    Northeastern states with paid family leave: New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey. Pennsylvania should be next. Tell your legislator to support paid family leave.

  16. I am horrified by Rep. Scott Perry's Islamophobic rant. This man doesn't represent the values of tolerance and religious freedoms our commonwealth was founded on.

  17. Joining RGGI will give us the resources we need to invest in energy efficiency and home repairs that will lead to lower utility bills. In other RGGI states, electricity prices have gone down since the start of the program even as the rest of the nation’s costs have gone up.
