Over the past three years Democrats have delivered for Pennsylvanians by cutting taxes for families, funding our schools, strengthening public safety, and growing our economy. The budget Governor Shapiro outlined today keeps us on course with smart and thoughtful investments in our future, while addressing some of the biggest challenges impacting our neighbors.
The governor’s proposal boosts funding for schools like William Penn and Philadelphia and delivers additional dollars to violence intervention grants. There are measures to protect people of all ages looking for an affordable place to call home, and a plan to ensure people have reliable rides to work, school and the doctor’s office by funding public transit systems.
Finally, Pennsylvania needs to stop leaving money on the table by failing to increase our outdated minimum wage and not legalizing adult use cannabis. We could be generating millions of dollars to support programs here in Pennsylvania, instead we’re sending those dollars out of state.
2026 is the year we will continue to deliver for every Pennsylvania family, senior and child.
