In just one year, Donald Trump cut funding for:
❌ Food assistance and SNAP.
❌ Medicaid.
❌ Planned Parenthood.
All while raising costs on our farmers, families, and small business owners.
My budget sets aside funding so we can be prepared to protect Pennsylvanians from whatever he cuts next.

For too long, decisions have been made ABOUT people with disabilities, not WITH them.
Here in Pennsylvania, we’re not just giving these folks a seat at the table — we're asking them to be the decision makers about policies that affect them.
That’s hundreds of millions in revenue going out of state instead of being spent here in Pennsylvania.
It’s time for us to finally catch up — and for the legislature to send a bill to my desk and get this done.
Pennsylvanians who want to buy recreational marijuana are already driving across the border to one of our neighboring states who’ve legalized it.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania's Commonwealth Court just struck down the state ban on Medicaid coverage for abortion care.
I've long opposed this unconstitutional ban, and as Governor, I did not defend it — because a woman's ability to access reproductive care should never be determined by her income.
That’s why we created my Housing Action Plan to reform our zoning laws, build more housing to keep up with the rising demand, and protect renters and homeowners from rising costs.
Home prices and rent are rising faster than wages — and half of the homes in our Commonwealth are more than 50 years old.
If we don’t take action now, we’ll be short 185,000 homes by 2035.
We’re 5 days out from the NFL Draft — here’s what we’ve been up to over the last several months to get Pittsburgh ready for this big moment.
Reproductive health care decisions should be made by women and their doctors — not Donald Trump or Congressional Republicans.
So long as I’m Governor, I'll make sure it stays that way.

Welcome to Arts Landing, Pittsburgh.
Now, some of our most exciting projects — including Arts Landing — are officially complete, with others well on their way. That’s called GSD.
We began this work right away, making sure Downtown was ready in time for the NFL Draft and a cleaner, safer, more prosperous neighborhood year-round.
In 2024, LG Austin Davis and I announced our historic and ambitious plan to breathe new life into Downtown Pittsburgh right here in Arts Landing.
This is just the beginning of our progress to transform the Steel City into a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant place that will attract visitors from across the region.
This brand new 4-acre outdoor park and theater will transform this space and give folks a place to be together in the outdoors, right in the center of the city.
Today, LG Austin Davis and I officially opened Arts Landing — one of three public spaces in Downtown Pittsburgh created or renovated because of our historic 10-year plan.
To every member of this community and your families: I’ll always have your back — and the steps we’re taking today will make certain Pennsylvania is a place where you are loved and respected.
That’s what good, compassionate, and inclusive government looks like.
The Executive Orders I signed today change that — inviting the physical, intellectual, and developmental disability and autism communities to the table and asking them to be the decision makers about policies that will affect them.
Far too often, decisions are made about people with disabilities instead of with them.
These kids really channeled their inner GSD attitude for this year’s Easter Egg Hunt. 🐰🪺
Today, I signed three Executive Orders to expand protections for Pennsylvanians with disabilities — because we believe government should be compassionate, thoughtful, and treat people with the dignity they deserve.
Donald Trump and RFK Jr. openly disregard, disrespect, and mock people with disabilities.
We’re different in Pennsylvania.
✅ Reduced the statewide emergency wait list for services by 31% — and completely eliminated it in 3 counties!
We’re keeping our promise to always have their backs.
Since I took office, we’ve:
✅ Secured a historic investment of almost $355M for home and community-based services.
✅ Enrolled 4,000 more Pennsylvanians with intellectual disabilities and autism into critical services.
While the President openly mocks people with disabilities, we do things differently here in Pennsylvania.
We treat people with the respect and dignity they deserve — and we’ve delivered for the disability and autism community.
3. Strengthens the Developmental Disabilities Council and charges them with developing and implementing a meaningful statewide plan on developmental disability.
2. Directs state agencies to go above and beyond to ensure services are accessible — and protect people with disabilities’ personal information from federal overreach.
1. Creates a NEW commission to help coordinate my Administration’s work to support every Pennsylvanian with disabilities — with a direct line to me and my senior staff.
