Here in Pennsylvania, we’ve shown the nation how to get sh*t done, John. Since my first day as Governor, I’ve rolled up my sleeves to make our government work more efficiently and effectively for every Pennsylvanian — and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished.
In the past two years, we’ve made Pennsylvania a blueprint for the nation when it comes to speeding up government and securing tangible results that make an immediate impact in the lives of Pennsylvanians. To make our government work at the speed of business, we’ve cut permitting times from weeks — or even months — to days. It used to take eight weeks to get a business permit in Pennsylvania. Now, it takes two days. For a cosmetology or barbershop license, it used to take nearly two weeks to get approved. Now, we approve licenses on the same day. Throughout my time as Governor, I’ve proudly cut red tape to make our government work like any other business in Pennsylvania: streamlined and efficient. But that’s not all we’ve accomplished for the good people of Pennsylvania, John. In addition to making our government work faster, we’ve secured real investments in Pennsylvania’s people, its communities, and its future. We delivered the largest increase in public education funding in the history of Pennsylvania, ensuring that our schools, teachers, and students will have the resources they need to thrive. We enacted universal free breakfast in every K-12 public school, so all of Pennsylvania’s 1.7 million schoolchildren can focus on their education, instead of an empty stomach. We eliminated the college degree requirement for 92% of state government jobs, because skill and experience are more important than arbitrary and expensive degree requirements. We secured funding for 800 new state troopers, because every Pennsylvanian deserves the freedom to feel safe and be safe in their community. And since I took office, we’ve added 145,000 jobs and secured over $3 billion in private sector investments, ensuring that every Pennsylvanian has the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed. John, this is what getting sh*t done looks like — and I’m not slowing down for even a moment. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
