Chairman's Message

Fellow Pennsylvanians,

Earlier this week, New York City announced that they will require all workers and customers at certain businesses, including gyms, indoor restaurants, and entertainment venues, to show proof of vaccination before entering. County commissioners in Philadelphia also warned that all options are on the table when it comes to imposing new COVID-19 restrictions. As talk of additional restrictions increases, our party remains steadfast in protecting the rights of Pennsylvanians. The voters made it clear during the May 18th elections that they don’t want burdensome COVID-19 restrictions that trample on their individual freedoms. That’s why our party is committed to stopping Governor Wolf from re-implementing any of his failed COVID-19 policies or unilaterally limiting your freedom with additional restrictions.

Sincerely,

Lawrence J. Tabas
Chairman, Republican Party of Pennsylvania
