"I think what folks don't want is rhetoric. They want specifics. And we're proud of the fact we've got the only growing economy in the northeastern part of the United States. I've cut taxes seven times. The indicators in our schools are going up along with our investment. I made a pledge to hire 2,000 more cops and invest in local violence prevention, and violent crime is down 12% across our commonwealth, fatal gun violence down 43%. Those are concrete deliverables,"
"I've got 246,000 homes and businesses without it. I was incredibly proud of President Biden when they got that infrastructure bill passed to provide the billions of dollars that were needed to plug everybody in, connect everybody in Pennsylvania. And do you know how many people, Scott, this many years later, have been connected to high-speed affordable internet thanks to President Biden's law in Pennsylvania? Zero. Because the dollars were never driven out."
Josh Shapiro, a prospective 2028 presidential contender, criticized the Biden-Harris administration for failing to provide specific tangible improvements that Americans can see or feel. He emphasized that voters want specifics rather than rhetoric and highlighted Pennsylvania's economic and policy gains. He said the state has the only growing economy in the northeastern United States, seven rounds of tax cuts, improving school indicators tied to investment, a pledge to hire 2,000 additional police officers, and investments in local violence prevention leading to a 12% drop in violent crime and a 43% decline in fatal gun violence. He cited a broadband rollout failure despite federal infrastructure funding and credited faster permitting and reduced backlogs for enabling state investments.
