Governor — Pennsylvania
Role source for Josh Shapiro ↗
Vance, Rubio, DeSantis and Cruz on one side; Newsom, Harris, Whitmer, Shapiro and Ocasio-Cortez on the other. Across immigration, AI, taxes, energy, healthcare, education, defense and regulation, every would-be first-100-days agenda sorts into the same five buckets — and the buckets, not the candidates, decide what actually happens. Scenario analysis, not a prediction or endorsement.
Josh Shapiro calls his Pennsylvania Lightning Plan a bold all-of-the-above energy strategy: gas, nuclear, solar, storage — and a carbon cap. A scenario analysis of what a Shapiro first 100 days could do to national energy policy, and what his own state's record says about the strategy's limits. Not a prediction. Not an endorsement.

A hypothetical Shapiro administration would bet that fixing how Washington works outranks what it does. Scenario analysis, not a prediction or endorsement.
Josh Shapiro has spent three years making permitting speed a Democratic talking point in Pennsylvania — a permitting office by executive order, a fight with PJM that saved consumers billions, and a “Lightning Plan” to build more, faster.
