Adults decide for ourselves whether we vape, smoke, or sit at a machine and gamble. Period. Josh Shapiro is flashing exactly who he is…. someone who thinks he gets to run your life and if he gets re-elected, watch him tighten the screws even harder.

I’m actually not voting for anyone who signed a Pennsylvania vape ban and it is that serious
Shapiro talks a big game about freedom until it conflicts with his regulatory agenda or his need for new tax revenue. Real freedom means adults get to make their own choices without a nanny-state governor deciding what’s “good” for them. Josh Shapiro signed a law that wipes out
Data centers

79%
oppose · about 8,300,000 adults opposed to a local data center
Bar: share of PA adults, 0–100%. 79% (Franklin & Marshall, Aug 17-23, 2026, 501 RV) x about 10.5M adults; Quinnipiac (Jul 2026) found 74% opposed.
Four in five Pennsylvanians oppose a data center in their community; one in four approve of Shapiro's handling.

- Temporary pause, brownfield and industrial sites, repeal the sales-tax exemption and the 5.9% electricity sales tax.
- The message
- Caution
- In 2025 Garrity said rural areas could be 'perfect places' for data centers; expect that clip.

🚨 THE EMAUS AVENUE DATA CENTER WAS APPROVED — BUT THIS IS NOT THE END - WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO - PLEASE READ IN FULL - COMMENT BELOW - THANK YOU. Yesterday I attended and spoke at the Allentown Planning Commission meeting regarding the proposed data center at 2401 W. Emaus Avenue. It was not an easy day for me…
Yesterday, I joined PA Stands Up and residents from across NEPA who are standing up against the 16 proposed hyperscale data centers and associated power-generating facilities across the region. What happens in Lackawanna or Luzerne County impacts all of us. The votes I cast and the decisions made in Harrisburg impact…
Data centers have far-reaching impacts that extend well beyond the communities where they’re built. From our water and energy supplies to electric bills, the environment, land use, and the long-term health of our communities, these projects affect all of us. That’s why residents across Pennsylvania are calling for a…

154,000
Arab Americans (midpoint of 126K-182K)
Bar: 0–800,000, one scale for every counted bloc. Arab American population estimates of 126,000 (2024) and 182,000 (2016); plus 13,277 Philadelphia 'uncommitted' write-ins in the 2024 Democratic primary.
Four in ten voters under 30 say Shapiro is too supportive of Israel.
- NYT/Inquirer/Siena (Aug 2026): 47% say Shapiro's Israel stance is about right, 14% too supportive, 19% not supportive enough; 40% of under-30s say too supportive. source
- A Siena poll reported Sept 25: 60% oppose more military aid to Israel; Democrats 80-14. source
- 13,277 Philadelphia Democrats wrote in 'Uncommitted' in the 2024 primary, just under 8%. source
- Her position
- No public position found.
- The message
- Caution
- The biggest share of voters says Shapiro's stance is about right, and 19% want him more pro-Israel. A Garrity message here can backfire on the right.
False as stated “Shapiro signed bombs for Israel.”
What is true: Shapiro signed an artillery shell at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant during Zelenskyy's September 2024 visit, in support of Ukraine. The 'Finish them' shell message for Israel was Nikki Haley, May 2024. source
