| This is a weekly update from the Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Lawrence Tabas filling you in on what our statewide party leaders are up to, along with relevant news pertaining to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | | Fellow Pennsylvanians, This week, I’m delighted to inform you that Governor Wolf’s emergency powers have officially come to an end, after the administration formally certified the results of the May 18th Primary Elections. For the last year, Pennsylvania has suffered under Wolf’s lockdowns and arbitrary restrictions on personal freedoms, but the people of Pennsylvania stood up and took back power. I want to thank each and every one of you for getting out to vote and making this victory possible. Our party would be nothing without you and your support. Now that Wolf’s emergency powers have been terminated, we’re going to keep fighting to reopen our state and make sure we follow up on our victory by electing strong Republican candidates up and down the ballot. Sincerely, 
Lawrence J. Tabas

June 15, 2021 | Associated Press | | The Wolf Administration has formally certified the results of the May 18th primary elections, which brings an official end to the emergency disaster declaration he issued at the beginning of the pandemic. The state legislature voted to end the declaration last week after the people of Pennsylvania granted them additional powers to end Wolf’s executive overreach, but the vote did not officially take effect until the May 18th results were certified. | | Pa. GOP eyes voter referendums to get past Gov. Wolf vetoes
June 14, 2021 | PennLive While Governor Wolf continues to use his veto power to block popular proposals such as Voter ID, Pennsylvania Republicans see another avenue to implementing reforms by taking the issue directly to the people. In addition to introducing election reform legislation, House Republicans unveiled a proposed constitutional amendment to expand Pennsylvania’s voter ID requirement. Wolf cannot block a proposed constitutional amendment, which will appear on the ballot and be decided by the voters if it passes in two consecutive sessions of the legislature. Republicans already scored a massive victory over Governor Wolf using this process when the people of Pennsylvania voted to limit his executive overreach. | | GOP election reform bill would bring voter ID, early voting to Pa.
June 11, 2021 | City & State Pennsylvania After gathering input from county officials, election administrators and voting reform advocates, Pennsylvania Republicans have introduced a proposal to overhaul Pennsylvania’s election laws. The new legislation would help secure Pennsylvania’s elections and expand access to voting by requiring voters to present a valid photo ID at the polls, establishing in-person early voting starting in 2025, expanding the time counties have to process mail-in ballots and allowing curbside voting for disabled individuals. | | A Piece of PA Positivity: | | In overcoming bout with cancer, Philadelphia Flyers forward Oskar Lindblom lauded for perseverance with Masterton Trophy by NHL
