PENNSYLVANIA – With the midterm elections inching closer, candidates are hitting the campaign trail to win over undecided voters.<\/p>\n
Gov. Josh Shapiro was recently in Meadville, Pennsylvania – a city in Northwestern Pennsylvania to campaign for his re-election.<\/p>\n
Gov. Shapiro is running against Republican State Treasurer Stacy Garrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cRaise wages. It’s time to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. Republicans have blocked that for the last 15 years. It’s one of the reasons I’m working so hard to flip our state Senate for the first time since 1992,\u201d Shapiro said.<\/p>\n
The governor also wants to create more jobs, codify abortion rights, and lower the cost of housing.<\/p>\n
Shapiro\u2019s opponent, Stacy Garrity, is hoping to unleash Pennsylvania’s natural energy resources, make life more affordable, and reduce property taxes.<\/p>\n
