From your link.. Snip..
To date, Shapiro has not signed any voucher legislation into law.
Manuel Bonder, a spokesperson for Shapiro, highlighted the governors accomplishments on public education in a statement.
In his time in office, Governor Shapiro has consistently delivered historic increases in public education funding and finally, after decades of inaction, moved Pennsylvania towards adequately and equitably funding our public schools, Bonder said. Despite being the only Governor in the nation with a divided legislature and despite bad faith attacks from all sides Josh Shapiro has been a champion for public education and delivered real results.
In the state's most recent budget, signed into law on July 11, Shapiro championed and celebrated increases for public education funding, including a $225 million increase in basic education funding through the states Fair Funding Formula, bringing the states total basic education funding allocation to $8.1 billion. The budget also included a $100 million increase in special education funding, as well as new adequacy and tax equity allocations of $493 million and $32 million, respectively.

I think he will be the nominee because we must win PA. Pro-Palestinian protesters have cost supporters primary wins.

Shapiro has been an awesome Att. Gen for Pennsylvania and one of the best governors since being in that office.

Yes, he is governor of Pennsylvania. He happens to be Jewish. He does not influence policy in Israel.

I agree. Those so focused on minor differences are so difficult to understand as we fight against tRump.
