Pennsylvania has some of the most beautiful parks, forests, and trails in the entire country. We’re making them more accessible than ever before — for Pennsylvanians and visitors alike.

This old community pool has sat vacant for seven years — but thanks to this funding, we will soon breathe new life into this beautiful outdoor space and turn it into a park for kids and families to enjoy once again.

I chose to announce this funding at Swatara Crossings Park, a meaningful place to the Middletown community.

HUGE NEWS for Pennsylvanians who love the outdoors: I just announced $81 MILLION that will be driven out by DCNR to create more outdoor rec opportunities in 60 counties across our Commonwealth.

This endless cycle of economic chaos is hurting Pennsylvanians. My Administration is pushing back, and we’re working to make life more affordable for folks all across our Commonwealth.

We’re nearly two years into Donald Trump’s trade war, and Pennsylvanians have had it. The prices of groceries, gas, and other essentials continue to go up. The Fed just raised interest rates for the first time in three years.

Measles
Measles is a disease that spreads easily from person to person and can make you sick. People who are not vaccinated are at the highest risk. The best protection against measles is vaccination. DOH is ...

Thank you to the Pennsylvanians doing their part to keep their families and their neighbors safe.   For the latest case counts and where to get an MMR vaccine visit the link below. ⬇️

This disease is preventable. I urge Pennsylvanians to talk with a trusted health care provider and make sure you have the best possible information to protect you and your family.

BUT we are making progress: The Pennsylvania Department of Health and providers across PA administered 53,000 MMR vaccines in September. That’s more than DOUBLE the number of doses administered in an average month.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 06/10/2026
Here are the facts: Pennsylvania is experiencing one of the worst measles outbreaks in the country. To date, we have 1,004 cases in 39 of our counties.

These public servants were among the very best of us — and we will continue to carry on their legacy by supporting their families and having all of our heroes’ backs. May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today, I was humbled to invite the families of these fallen heroes to the Governor’s Residence and present them with the 2026 Keystone First Responder Award in their honor.

Detectives Baker and Emenheiser, Detective Sergeant Becker, Corporal O’Connor, Trooper Pahira, Fire Chief Buck, Assistant Fire Chief Shick, and Officers Chan and Yeager were nine extraordinary Pennsylvanians who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Every day across our Commonwealth, first responders and law enforcement officers put on the uniform, say goodbye to their loved ones, and walk out the door — not knowing if they will return home to the dinner table that night.

Philly Youth Basketball is doing it all — and we’re proud to invest in their growth as they continue to set our young people up for success.

Happy birthday to my friend and governing partner, @lgaustindavis.bsky.social! We’ve made a lot of progress together for the good people of Pennsylvania over the last four years… and had some fun times along the way, too. Enjoy your day, Austin!

In the 21st century, accessing the internet isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. The $448 million in broadband funding I announced yesterday is taking us one step closer to getting every school, home, and business connected by 2030.

I hear you: When a road is in bad shape, we need to act fast to fix it.   That’s why starting right now, we’re deploying $775 MILLION over the next 18 months to fund rapid road repair projects in all 67 counties.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 02/10/2026
We have the resources — and we have a plan to connect every Pennsylvania home and business by 2030. And that will lead to a healthier, more educated, and more successful Commonwealth.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 02/10/2026
It means patients can see a doctor without leaving their home, kids have the tools they need to effectively learn, and more Pennsylvanians have the opportunity to find a job and provide for their families.

When people have access to reliable, high-speed internet, their quality of life improves.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 02/10/2026
With this new funding I just announced, we will connect even more Pennsylvanians to the internet and expand access across 50 of our counties — taking one step closer to getting every Pennsylvanian connected by 2030.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 02/10/2026
When I took office, 330,000 households, businesses, and community centers didn’t have internet! We’ve cut that number by 60%.

HUGE NEWS: I just announced $448 MILLION in BEAD funding that is going to connect tens of thousands of students, business owners, and families in Pennsylvania to fast, reliable internet.

These children deserve to be supported — not bullied by their government. In PA, we’ve got their backs.

When the Trump Administration eliminated this specialized hotline last year, we stepped up here in Pennsylvania to make sure that LGBTQ+ young people across our Commonwealth could still get support and have a safe person to call in a crisis.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 02/10/2026
Some good news this Friday — the national 988 crisis line just restored its dedicated LGBTQ+ youth support services line.

Donald Trump tried to undermine your right to vote by mail. So we took him to court — and he lost.  I want every eligible voter in Pennsylvania to know: You can vote safely and securely by mail this November in our Commonwealth.

We know by now that Donald Trump doesn’t care about the science or the facts. But here in Pennsylvania — we trust the science, and I’ll continue to stand up to the President to protect your health and safety.

BREAKING: I’m suing the Trump Administration for dismantling the environmental protections that controlled the emissions large power plants can pump into our air. The science is clear: pollution is bad for our health, makes severe weather worse, threatens farmers' crops, and hurts our environment.

And if the local community where an AI data center wants to build says no, then their permit won’t even be considered. We’re putting the power back in Pennsylvanians’ hands.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 01/10/2026
That’s why last month, I signed an Executive Order creating the strictest requirements in the nation for AI data centers — a set of rules, informed by your feedback, that AI data center developers MUST follow if they even want the chance to build here in our Commonwealth.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 01/10/2026
Good governance requires less talking, and more listening. So when thousands of Pennsylvanians wrote me letters, sent me texts, left comments, and came up to me in person to tell me how concerned they are about AI data centers, I knew we had to do something.

If you walk through Downtown Harrisburg, you might be able to tell that Pennsylvania’s capital city — a city rich in history and culture — has fallen on hard times. But for the first time in a long time, we have a real plan to kickstart its revival. And that starts right now.

We’ve secured $43 BILLION in private sector investment that’s created a whole lot of jobs — nearly 29,000 to be exact — bringing lots of opportunity into our communities.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
We’re showing the world how great a state Pennsylvania is for businesses, and we’re making investments that have us finally competing for and winning major deals.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
And that includes putting $217 MILLION back in the pockets of low-income Pennsylvanians with our Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
At a time when Donald Trump is making everything more expensive with his economic policies that have injected chaos into our markets and are raising prices across the board, we’ve cut taxes TEN times.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
We’re investing more money than ever before in our schools to make sure every child has the opportunity to succeed — from universal free breakfast to mental health support and mandatory recess for kids in grades K-5.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
With all of the chaos, cruelty, and corruption we see coming out of the White House nearly every day, I get wanting to tune it all out. But we’re making a hell of a lot of progress here in Pennsylvania. We’re proving that when we work together, we can get stuff done. Here are just a few examples:

Come 2028, our next generation of changemakers will have the opportunity to receive a world-class education at this brand new campus — expanding CMU’s 126-year legacy of innovation and problem solving that began right here in Western Pennsylvania.

Governor Josh Shapiro @governor.pa.gov · 30/09/2026
Thanks to his gift, CMU will expand their School of Computer Science right here in Pittsburgh AND expand down south to Miami, Florida.
