He did.

Which I appreciate.

He said, go on all in.

They have thoughtful conversations and anxious to have one with you.

So thanks for having me.

Look, I'm proud of what we've done.

I'm not in comparison with Gavin or any other Democratic governor.

I'll just talk about what we've done here in Pennsylvania.

We are a pro growth state.

We want businesses to come here and grow.

I'm proud of the fact that we've created more jobs in all but two states in the entire country.

we've cut taxes seven different times to be more competitive cut taxes for small businesses also for families trying to afford child care for seniors for working pennsylvanians we've taken our permitting process that's the the usually the the ticket you need say to build your building right if you're trying to build something here in pennsylvania we were bottom five in the country

I think we're now a national model, easily top five in terms of speed.

We've got a money back guarantee on all of our permits.

If we don't get you your permit in time, we'll give you our money back.

And fun fact, we've issued 40 million permits during my time as governor.

We've only had to issue five refunds, meaning only five of those permits were late.

We are now the only growing economy in the northeastern part of the United States.

At the same time, we're investing in workforce development, especially if you don't have a college degree, tripling funding for VOTAC and apprenticeship programs and understanding the need to take the workforce we have today and prepare them for jobs here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

I'm proud that we've got an unemployment rate below the national rate consistently over the last 32 months.
