When I speak with Pennsylvanians across the Commonwealth, one question comes up time and again: “So, what does a Lieutenant Governor do anyway?”

Well, John, the job of the Lieutenant Governor is threefold:

• Chair the Board of Pardons — The Board has the great responsibility to review criminal cases and recommend clemencies to the Governor. I’m the only Democrat in this race running to reform our criminal justice system and I’ll fight hard to correct the harms perpetuated by our current system.
• Oversee the Pennsylvania Senate and serve as the Governor’s eyes and ears on critical issues. I’ve lived by and worked under the rules of the Senate for over a decade while serving as a State Representative in the House.
• Chair the Emergency Management Council when the Governor calls for an emergency order including the current state of emergency our state is in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's the Lieutenant Governor's job to convene experts to address the crisis at hand.

For too long, our state’s broken politics have prevented progress on the issues that you care about most: affordable health care, criminal justice reform, and a fair and just economy. I’m the only candidate for Lieutenant Governor with over a decade of legislative experience that will help me guide the Senate to be a tool for working Pennsylvanians, and I need your support.

Together, we're the antidote to Pennsylvania's broken politics, John. Pitch in $10 — or what works best for your budget — to help me win this race.
