Will Vice President Kamala Harris select Gov. Josh Shapiro as her running mate? Fueling further speculation, Harris announced that Philadelphia will be the first stop on her national tour to introduce her vice president pick to voters.
Meanwhile, Shapiro basks in the spotlight and works overtime to talk up his record.
The only problem? The reality of his record doesn’t measure up to the hype. Shapiro’s 18 months in office have been a story of broken promises and an inability to govern effectively.
That’s why we persist in driving the message that Shapiro isn’t the effective governor he pretends to be. We just released a brand new ad, with broadcasts last weekend in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. media markets—the very markets the media pays the closest attention to right now.
Take a look:
We know our barrage of ads, including our recent newspaper ads, help dispel Shapiro’s “Get Sh*t Done” narrative. And they have begun to get under the governor’s skin.
Shapiro, when asked about our ads critiquing his record last week during an event, claimed that the Commonwealth Foundation has “spent years and millions and millions of dollars attacking me.”
That’s not true. We’ve championed policies like enacting Lifeline Scholarships, cutting red tape on energy production, and decreasing taxes—all policies Shapiro endorsed as a candidate. These are bipartisan, popular policies that Shapiro promised to support but has thus far failed to accomplish.
So, we will continue to drive the message in Pennsylvania and beyond that Shapiro is “All Talk, No Results.”
Will you help us push back against Shapiro’s false narrative? If you give $15, $10, or $5 right now, we can keep holding Shapiro accountable for his broken promises.
Every dollar helps. Together, we can hold Shapiro accountable for failing to deliver on his campaign promises as governor.
Please support our efforts today.
If you’ve kept up with the national news in the past few days, you may have noticed our governor in many headlines. But Gov. Josh Shapiro isn’t in the news because of his record, which is entirely lacking compared to other governors. Instead, he’s seen as a potential running mate to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Our latest research proves Shapiro falls far short of his favorite mantra, “Get Sh*t Done.” He has broken his campaign promises, failing to sign Lifeline Scholarships or significant tax relief for individuals and businesses into law.
So, we’re ensuring the media doesn’t fall for the “pragmatic and good leader” fairy tale. And we’ve taken our message across Pennsylvania and beyond. Our ad highlighting Shapiro’s poor record, featured in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last week for the Republican National Convention, was just in The Washington Post last Sunday.
Check it out:
We also launched an ad featuring Printess Garrett, a Harrisburg mom, speaking out against Shapiro’s failure to achieve Lifeline Scholarships.
It’s a powerful message, as Printess is a real-life Pennsylvania mother fighting to ensure her kids get a quality education. She’s the kind of Pennsylvanian our governor let down by failing to live up to his promises.
Make sure you check out the ad here:
We have more ads in the works to highlight Shapiro’s poor record and correct the media narrative that he’s an effective governor. But we can’t do it without your support.
Every dollar helps hold the governor’s feet to the fire. Your support will help us continue to show that Shapiro isn’t the effective leader he pretends to be.
