AGP Executive Report
Last update: 20 minutes agoGovernor’s Race: Josh Shapiro and Stacy Garrity faced off in their only debate before Nov. 3, clashing over data centers, AI and fuel costs. Shapiro defended his proposed safeguards and local approval requirements; Garrity argued leaders should work with businesses rather than pause projects. A Quinnipiac poll gives Shapiro a 59%–34% lead among likely voters. Election Oversight: Lancaster County residents urged Republican elections commissioners to sign a pledge backing fair elections; they declined, saying they would follow the law. Separately, records showing ICE reviewed millions of voter records have intensified scrutiny of federal election-related investigations. Skill Games: With a court-ordered enforcement deadline approaching Oct. 13, lawmakers have yet to pass a regulatory plan, and legislators withdrew a request to delay the crackdown. State police say machines outside licensed casinos and qualifying truck stops could face seizure. Legislative Action: The Senate passed a bill to create a statewide animal-abuser registry, sending it to the House, and approved a near-unanimous ban on PFAS firefighting foam that now awaits House action.
