➡️ TEAM PAGOP UPDATE ⬇️

Happy Saturday!

Governor Shapiro's first budget address to the legislature did have some bright spots, and we're hopeful that he will work with Republicans on common sense solutions that will help all Pennsylvanians like tackling inflation, making our Commonwealth a safer place, and fixing the education system. 

Republicans are willing to work with the Governor to better Pennsylvania, but we will not cave to radical proposals that will only worsen the problems we are facing.

While the Governor did propose some ideas that we could work together on, our House and Senate Republican caucuses will continue to oppose radical leftist ideology and we will work hard to hold their socialist "solutions" to the problems our state is facing at bay.

➡️ Do You Support a $15 Minimum Wage? ⬇️

Governor Josh Shapiro has proposed increasing Pennsylvania's minimum wage to $15...do you approve?

Basic economic principles and historic evidence shows that raising the minimum wage vastly increases inflation while doing nothing to increase prosperity nor improve the standard of living for workers!

We want to know...Do you support Governor Shapiro's proposal to increase PA's minimum wage to $15?
