John, I wanted you to hear it directly from me. Today, I’m officially launching my reelection campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania.

Hear me on this: we've gotten a whole lot done, on issues that have been stuck for decades. But there's always more to do. More people to help. More Pennsylvanians to protect. More bridges to build.

That’s why I’m running for reelection — to build upon the foundation we’ve laid, put more points on the board for Pennsylvania families, and keep getting sh*t done.

John, I hope you’ll split a donation between Governor Hochul and me to become a Day One Founding Donor to our campaign. Our team just set an ambitious $500,000 Day One Launch Goal, so we’re going to need a lot of help to reach that milestone and build all the momentum we’ll need to win this race and keep Pennsylvania moving forward. >>

Growing up in Montgomery County, my parents raised me with a core set of values: Work hard. Give back. Stand up for others. And John, they led by example. As a pediatrician, my dad helped lead kids and families through the stress of challenging, uncertain moments. And as an educator, my mom taught me and so many other kids to care about the world around us.

Watching their work up close inspired me to follow in their footsteps — but in a different way. Instead of medicine or education, I wanted to help Pennsylvanians through public service. By cleaning up our government, solving problems, and making life better for the families I served.

That’s what I did as a State Representative, when I helped pass some of the toughest ethics laws in Pennsylvania history. It’s what I did as Attorney General, when I got justice for survivors of sexual abuse, protected health care access, and won in court dozens of times to defend our democracy. And John, it’s what I’m doing right now as Pennsylvania’s 48th Governor.

Together, we’ve cut taxes seven times, putting millions back into the pockets of parents, seniors, and small businesses. We’ve invested a record amount of money in public education and served over 90 million free breakfasts to Pennsylvania students. We’ve created over 18,000 jobs, grown our economy, and expanded opportunity across our Commonwealth. And yes, we’ve protected abortion rights, ensuring every Pennsylvanian has the freedom to access the health care they need.

But my work isn’t finished. Today, Pennsylvanians are facing unprecedented challenges with a White House hell bent on raising costs, attacking our freedoms, and undermining our democracy.

And this year, we have the chance to defeat the politics of chaos, division, and extremism that are making it harder across our Commonwealth. We have the opportunity to show the nation that hatred and division are not the way forward. That means standing up to the politicians who enable Donald Trump and JD Vance — even when they know their policies hurt Pennsylvanians.

John, let’s keep moving our Commonwealth forward together. It’s going to take a full team effort here, and the success of our campaign will come down to grassroots supporters like you. So I’m humbly asking: Can you join our team by rushing a split donation between Governor Hochul and my campaign and become a Day One Founding Donor? >>

Thank you so much for your support. Let’s get to work.

Josh Shapiro
Governor of Pennsylvania
