➡️ TEAM PAGOP UPDATE ⬇️
Dear friend,
This week has been all abuzz with talks of the budget. Governor Josh Shapiro
and the Democrat-led House of Representatives are sparring and negotiating with
the Republican-led PA Senate over budget proposals.
Meanwhile, the deadline to pass a budget looms closer and closer. Under state
law the legislature must pass a budget by June 30th. Although, what actually
happens if the budget isn't finished by then isn't clear.
Josh Shapiro and the Democrats are trying to increase spending again and
Republicans are fighting to limit the out-of-control spending in the PA House.
PAGOP continues to register new Republicans, build our party, fight the left,
and urge our Republican legislators to stand strong in the face of pressure
from the Democrats. We must stand by our conservative principles of fiscal
responsibility and free markets!
Contact your local PAGOP field office and find out how you can help in this
fight. They may need help registering Republicans, or calling your local
representatives to urge them to preserve our way of life.

➡️ Tell us Your Thoughts: Minimum Wage Poll ⬇️
<[link removed]>
Democrats in Pennsylvania's House of Representatives recently advanced a bill
to raise PA's minimum wage to $15 by 2026. It's a massive jump from PA's
current minimum wage of $7.25.
Liberals argue that this is necessary to help struggling families get by, and
combat inflation, but many economists say that evidence shows raising minimum
wages does more todrive prices up than fight inflation.
Conservatives also point to examples like the city of Seattle which passed
minimum wage increases in 2015 and 2016 and then saw the number of new entrants
to the labor force actually decline during the same period.
What do you think? Do you agree with the Democrat's plans to more than double
Pennsylvania's minimum wage?
<[link removed]>
Yes. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.
<[link removed]>
I Agree With a Modest Increase.
<[link removed]>
No. Don't Raise Minimum Wage.
