They want to tell women what medicines they can take and what they can do with their bodies.
They want to control the way I raise my child.

They are not the party of freedom.
And I think the Democratic Party has an opportunity to be the party of education, safety, economic opportunity and freedom.
That's what we're doing here in Pennsylvania.
And that's what I'm going to continue to put forth.
I think it's a great platform.
yeah when i was talking about economic opportunity it's somewhat shorthand if you will for also being able to afford that community affording that community can be health care it can be housing rights but let's talk about housing here in pennsylvania i've asked the legislature for a one billion dollar fund to be able to build more housing in pennsylvania and repair existing housing fifty percent of my housing was built prior to 1950.
You can invest a few thousand bucks in a new boiler, a new roof, some new windows, actually keep people in their homes and not have to build new homes.

We gotta be able to build this faster.

I think that is really, really crucial.
Let's talk about college for a minute.
The first day I was governor,
The first executive order I signed was to do away with the college degree requirement to work for state government.
We have 80,000 employees, damn near all.
Now you do not have to have a college degree other than say the doctors and lawyers and people like that who require advanced degrees.
