Last week Blayre and I joined the First Lady to hold a discussion with reproductive health providers and advocates on the state of reproductive health care in Pennsylvania and what our Administration is doing to support physicians and the people seeking care.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
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.

— who decided to take back the plane from the hijackers and prevent the terrorists from killing any more Americans.   The men and women that perished on September 11th, 2001 will never be forgotten. May their memories be a blessing.

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 —

We’ve seen how much kids benefit when they’re away from their screens and having 30 minutes of play every day is just one step we’re taking to help kids in and outside of the classroom.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
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.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
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.

@governor.pa.gov and I will always fight to protect your fundamental freedoms, which is why our Administration is suing to stop the Trump Administration’s attack on Title X funding.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
The Trump Administration is trying to restrict those funds and take away access to reproductive health care, all to push their political agenda.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
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.

Under our Administration, we launched the PA Housing Action Plan so that iconic buildings like Penn Paper can be modernized into necessary housing options for Pennsylvanians while keeping historic landmarks.

It was great to hear from local northeastern PA leaders and small businesses about their experiences and the challenges they’re seeing.

Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis @lgaustindavis.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
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.
