SHAPIRO IS SEEKING HIS SECOND TERM AS GOVERNOR, WHILE GARRITY IS LOOKING TO BE THE COMMONWEALTH’S FIRST REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SINCE 2015. SHAPIRO SHARED HIS FOCUSES LAST NIGHT, INCLUDING RAISING MINIMUM WAGE, INCREASING HOUSING, FUNDING, MASS TRANSIT AND CODIFYING ABORTION. WHILE GARRITY SAYS SHE HAS HER EYES SET ON AFFORDABILITY AND, QUOTE, UNLOCKING THE ENERGY OF THE COMMONWEALTH. WE HAVE SO MANY BLESSINGS HERE. WE HAVE THE BEST, HARDEST WORKING PEOPLE. WE HAVE WORLD CLASS INDUSTRIES, WE HAVE NATURAL RESOURCES THAT ARE THE ENVY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD, AND WE’RE SQUANDERING OUR BLESSINGS. AND UNDER A GARRITY RITCHIE ADMINISTRATION, THAT CHANGES DAY ONE, WE GOTTEN A LOT DONE TOGETHER. WE GOT A LOT MORE WORK TO DO. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE DONALD TRUMP A RUBBER STAMP IN THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST. BOTH CANDIDATES ALSO MADE A POINT TO TELL VOTERS THAT THEY BELIEVE THEIR OPPONENT’S INTENTIONS REALLY ARE. MY OPPONENT IS RUNNING ON HER COMPLETE AND TOTAL ALLEGIANCE TO DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE SHE’S MORE FOCUSED ON SERVING HIM THAN FIGHTING FOR YOU. SHE PROUDLY WEARS THAT MAGA HAT WHILE I WEAR THE PENNSYLVANIA JERSEY. WE HAVE A GOVERNOR THAT IS MORE INTERESTED IN PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE THAN HELPING PENNSYLVANIA FAMILIES. NOVEMBER’S GENERAL ELECTION IS SET FOR NOVEMBER 3RD, AND THE LAST TO REGISTER TO VOTE WILL BE OCTOBER 19TH. BUT FOR NOW, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY. CARLOS FLORES, PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR AND LOOKING AHEAD TO NOVEMBER. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AUSTIN DAVIS REMAINS ON THE SHAPIRO TICKET. HE RAN UNOPPOSED IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
