Josh Shapiro on Technology

 

 


We rebuilt I-95 overpass 12 days after devastating collapse

In a re-election campaign launch video shared with Fox News Digital, Shapiro says, "We've gotten s--- done all across our Commonwealth to make a real difference in people's lives. Now, Pennsylvania is open for business," the governor repeated his unofficial slogan.

And Shapiro pointed to the rebuilding of an interstate overpass that collapsed in 2023: "When disaster struck, others underestimated us. But I never did. Reopen and ready for travelers, just 12 days after a devastating collapse," Shapiro said. "We cut through the red tape to get I-95 rebuilt in record time. We did it using materials from a Pennsylvania business and with the muscle and know-how of Pennsylvania union workers."

Shapiro also touts his bipartisan efforts, noting that "even with a divided state legislature--together--we've gotten a whole lot done on issues that have been stuck for decades. But there's always more to do--more people to help, more Pennsylvanians to protect, more bridges to build."

Develop a toolkit on digital literacy and critical thinking

We give them devices with access to the entire world at a young age, but never teach them how to use them. Lori and I see this as parents. I don't care whether our kids take a position on the left or on the right… but I do care that they're able to discern fact from fiction. That's why I've directed the Department of Education to develop a toolkit for teachers and parents on digital literacy and critical thinking.
