Here in Pennsylvania, we believe everyone deserves the freedom to make their own decisions about their body and have access to reproductive health care that respects and empowers them.

Pennsylvania’s new Track-Kit system, which enables victims of sexual assault to track and monitor the status of their rape test kits as it moves through processing, will be fully rolled out by the end of this year.

Survivors of sexual assault deserve dignity, transparency, and respect as they navigate the process of reporting the crime and healing from the trauma. Pennsylvania has taken the initiative to establish the Track-Kit system to give victims of sexual assault —

It was great to join Bill Flanagan this week on Our Regions Business to highlight the work our administration has been doing to create jobs and boost economic development. Across Pennsylvania we’ve built partnerships with our business community to secure historic investments to keep PA thriving.

The 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93 remain amongst the most heroic Americans, ordinary people choosing to defend and protect our nation when they made the collective decision to retake the plane from the terrorists, preventing it from reaching its final destination.

Today we mark a solemn 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. As one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history, I wanted to take a moment to speak on Flight 93 and the incredibly brave actions of the passengers and crew —

In the past two decades, we’ve seen recess time shortened in our schools. But now, kids will have a dedicated time away from their desks to play with their friends, get a break, and learn essential social skills.

It’s time for recess!

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Kids need time to be kids.   And this new law will guarantee 30 minutes of recess every day to help our children stay active, grow their imagination, and improve social development. It’s a win for students, teachers and parents as well.

It was great to be in Philadelphia this Labor Day to celebrate Samuel “Sam” Straten, Jr. for his extraordinary career and dedication to the organized labor movement.    Renaming a street in his honor serves as a permanent reminder of what Sam’s accomplished and to inspire the next generation.

Pennsylvania’s union workers are the best in the nation and today we celebrate them and the unions that have built this state and this country from the ground up. The Shapiro-Davis Administration stands with our skilled workers every single day.

Happy Birthday to my amazing daughter, Harper!
 
Your energy, your happiness, your laugh will always be the best part of my day. It’s hard to believe you’re already three years old but it’s been an honor to be your dad and watch you grow up.

I’ve been honored to have you by my side for the last nine years through the good days, the bad days, and everything in between. My best friend and favorite person, thank you for being my rock and the best mother to our daughter.   Happy anniversary, Blayre. I love you.

Our Violence Intervention & Prevention program focuses on both preventing crime before it occurs but also providing resources for the victims and families after a crime is committed, whatever that looks like for the individual.   And it’s through this work that we’re making PA safer for everyone.

We want students to know that there is no wrong path here in Pennsylvania.   Whether you choose college or trade school or open a small business, all of it is possible in this Commonwealth.

Every Pennsylvanian should have the freedom to decide if and when they become a parent, and Title X funding helps empower low-income Pennsylvanians to make the best decisions for themselves.

We’re the only state in the northeast with a growing economy – and that’s thanks to our Administration’s efforts to cut red tape and make it easier for businesses to grow and thrive here.

We’ve got 1.2 million small businesses here in Pennsylvania, employing over 2.5 million people – that’s nearly half of our work force. And making sure our small businesses can get the start they need and continue to find success is a central part of our economic strategy.

I want to congratulate the 47 new Pennsylvania State Troopers who graduated today from the 176th Cadet Class and took their sworn oath to protect and serve this Commonwealth.   Policing is a noble profession, and your commitment to serving something bigger than yourselves is truly an inspiration.

As someone who grew up in the shadow of the old steel mills, I understand the value of cleaning up these outdated, hazardous sites and turning them back into something that benefits the community.   It’s good for public health and for our economy.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
Cleaning up environmental hazards that have been left unchecked from our industrial past is not only good stewardship, but it prioritizes public health and creates new economic opportunities for future businesses.   Funding these clean ups benefits everyone.

When local economies are thriving, more Pennsylvanians have opportunities to grow or start their business, find additional education and training options, and most importantly, can raise their family right here in the Commonwealth.   That’s what we want for every Pennsylvanian.

Seniors, young people & working families need affordable housing – that’s why we need to grow our housing supply in every zip code. Our Housing Action Plan outlines how our cities and townships can work with developers to build the kinds of housing that works for them & their needs on the ground.

As we continue to honor our nation’s founding 250 years ago, it’s important to remember that it’s only been 61 years since we’ve had the ballot box open to every American. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was a landmark decision that alleviated voter suppression and discrimination based on race—

It was a proud day in McKees Rocks celebrating five newly renovated, affordable homes that will help families and individuals achieve their dream of owning a home. Every Pennsylvanian deserves a safe, affordable place to call home, and this is the kind of progress that makes that vision a reality.

After a crime occurs, victims and their families deserve justice to heal and move forward. That’s why we’re launching a new program to help police departments solve violent crimes and find answers to cold cases.

Hearing directly from the folks on the ground who are addressing community violence and building safe spaces for our kids and teenagers has always been really important to me – and I’m grateful for the conversations we had today.

Since taking office, violent crime is down 16% statewide.   That’s because we’ve taken a comprehensive approach to improving safety through law enforcement support, community-based investments, and taking an active role in caring for victims.

Violent crime statewide is down by 16 percent since we took office, and homicides are down by nearly 40 percent. While there is still much more work to be done, we’re making progress toward reducing gun violence.
