The quiet populism of Pennsylvania Governor-elect JoshShapiroPA Analysis by Salena Zito:
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro said that if he had to boil down the success of his campaign to a couple of things, it would be these two: showing up and listening.
But he also had to have a message, and one that connected, uplifted, and motivated people to vote for him. So, while many covering the election looked toward John Fetterman as the vessel for populism, or to Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano to replicate former President Donald Trump’s populist fever, it was Shapiro who had the true populist message in last month’s election.
It conveyed that Shapiro was that someone standing up for the little guy in the middle of a chaos campaign, and voters were drawn to it. They trusted it because, as attorney general, he has demonstrated he would do it. He took on powerful pharmaceutical companies that he blamed for manufacturing the opioid crisis. He pursued leaders in Pennsylvania's Catholic dioceses for their irresponsibility in handling pedophile priests.
When Shapiro is sworn in on Jan. 17 to succeed Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, it will be the first time in over 126 years that the commonwealth will have three consecutive terms with a Democrat as governor. The former Montgomery County executive said that begins with a wide diversity of thought, experiences, race, sense of place, education, and point of view as part of his administration. That began with his choice of Austin Davis as his running mate.
He said he will begin Inauguration Day with an executive order that does away with the college requirement for thousands of the state government's 82,000 jobs. “So, you want to talk about opening up the doors of opportunity to more people or having more people sitting around these different tables in government who didn't go to the Ivy Leagues … the point is, this isn't just talk. This isn't just applicable to the governor's executive team.
