Our Governor Delivered.

2 years ago in 2014, I supported Tom Wolf for Governor of Pennsylvania. He wasn't my first choice. I liked Allyson Schwartz. He ran on a platform with one big and clear goal: strengthening schools (along with fixing Corbett's struggling economy). I have to say, during the long period in which our state had no budget, I was doubtful, but Governor Wolf pulled through. Here are some of the strides we have made in Governor Wolf's first two years: $415 million dollars in basic education funding so that more school districts are creating additional academic resources for students. $60 million in early education. $16.4 million for community colleges. $81.4 million for PASSHE and state schools. Last but not least $14.6 million has been put into creating early intervention programs for children with developmental delays.

Thank you, Governor Wolf!
