Every day as Governor, Josh Shapiro has brought people together to get stuff done and protect Pennsylvanians’ fundamental freedoms.

Governor Shapiro believes all Pennsylvanians should have the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed – and that is what he has worked to deliver: from creating jobs and putting money back in people’s pockets, to investing in law enforcement and community organizations to improve public safety, to delivering historic funding for our kids’ education, to protecting our freedoms and our democracy.

Governor Shapiro has delivered results on the issues that matter most; he has shown up in moments of crisis and emergency; and he has proven every day that he is a Governor who fights for all of us. Now, Governor Josh Shapiro and Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis are running for reelection to keep getting stuff done and to keep moving our Commonwealth forward.

Under Josh Shapiro’s leadership, we have invested more in public education than ever before, hired hundreds of new law enforcement officers, created thousands of new jobs, and put money back in people’s pockets.

Now, when children in Pennsylvania go to school, they can get free breakfast and there are more mental health counselors and resources available when they need them. When those students graduate from high school, they have more opportunities to chart their own course – whether in the workforce, through an apprenticeship program, or in college – and their communities are safer and more prosperous.

As Governor, he has made it a priority to represent all Pennsylvanians, traveling to communities all across the Commonwealth and meeting Pennsylvanians from all walks of life.

He previously served as Pennsylvania’s Attorney General, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners, and State Representative. From seeing his parents serve others – his father in the Navy and as the local pediatrician and his mother as an educator – to marrying his high-school sweetheart, Lori, and raising four children in the community and traditions they grew up in, to a career fighting for the people of Pennsylvania, Governor Shapiro’s life has been grounded in faith, family, and public service.

Through it all, Governor Shapiro continues – as he’s done throughout his career – to take on big fights, bring people together to get stuff done, and defend Pennsylvanians’ rights and freedoms.

Growing up in the Mon Valley in western Pennsylvania – a historic industrial center just south of the City of Pittsburgh – Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis saw the struggles of working families firsthand. He watched his mom – a hairdresser in McKeesport for more than 40 years – juggle raising a family with putting food on the table. He watched his dad work hard every day as a union bus driver.

After an incident of gun violence occurred in his neighborhood, Lieutenant Governor Davis knew from an early age he wanted to dedicate his life and career to public service. Throughout his career, he has fought for economic equality, worked to lift people out of poverty, secure fair funding for education, and has been committed to bettering the lives of people in every Pennsylvania community.

A first-generation college graduate, he began pursuing a career in public service after earning a political science degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Austin started his career in Allegheny County government, spearheading the county’s vision and transition teams and worked to create the county’s first violence prevention office. By age 21, the Tribune-Review called him “a veteran at the politics of helping others.”

In 2018, Lieutenant Governor Davis successfully ran for the state House of Representatives. He became the first western Pennsylvania African-American to serve as state representative outside the City of Pittsburgh, eventually being elected by his legislative colleagues as the leader of the Allegheny County House Democratic Delegation.

In 2022, he successfully ran for and won the nomination for lieutenant governor alongside then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro, winning all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties in a three-way primary. He was subsequently elected as Pennsylvania’s 35th and first African-American lieutenant governor. In addition, he is our nation’s youngest sitting lieutenant governor.

As lieutenant governor, he serves as President of the Pennsylvania Senate. Additionally, he chairs the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, the Governor’s Local Government Advisory Committee, the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council, the Pennsylvania Advisory Council for Inclusive Procurement, and the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Aerospace States Association. He also serves as co-chair on the Pennsylvania Early Learning Investment Commission.

Since taking office, Lieutenant Governor Davis has led the efforts to drive out $85 million in Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) grants to over 130 projects statewide, $5 million increase in funding to secure places of worship and community centers, and $60 million in new funding for county 911 services.

He also championed efforts to provide $11.5 million to launch the Building Opportunity through Out of School Time (BOOST) program, supporting 46 programs in its first year to give young people in Pennsylvania a safe environment during after-school hours. This is the first ever state program that directed state dollars directly into after school programs in Pennsylvania history.

Lieutenant Governor Davis championed efforts to re-establish Pennsylvania’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention and won a $4 million competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to expand hospital-based violence intervention programs.

His steadfast commitment to providing second chances to deserving individuals, has resulted in a modernization of Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons. During his tenure, Lieutenant Governor Davis oversaw the launch of a fully online pardons application system, an increase in staffing to help process a record number of applications, and holding a record number of hearings over the course of his tenure as the board chair.

Along with service to Pennsylvania, Lieutenant Governor Davis also served as chair of the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association (DLGA) and a member of the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA).

He currently resides in the Mon Valley region of western Pennsylvania with his wife, Blayre Holmes Davis, and their daughter, Harper.
