This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Politics, where we take a different approach to the news. Thank you so much for joining us today for a new episode of Pantsuit Politics. If you have been with us as a

listener for long at all, you know how much we love governors. Some of the

most interesting, effective political work in our country is being done at the state level.

And that is absolutely true in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where our guest today, Governor

Josh Shapiro serves.

Governor Shapiro has taken an approach to governing that

prioritizes efficiency and enacting real practical change for citizens,

meeting people exactly where they are, thinking about how

government can really go to work for us.

We were honored to talk with him at the end of June right before the state budget was passed

about that work and cannot wait to share that conversation with you. Before we do,

just want to say that we love seeing all of the good work that unfolds across the country.

You can really only be depressed about politics

if you confine your politics to sort of national headline news.

When you see what's happening in communities all over the country, there's some

challenging stuff there too, but there are so many people who are so inspiring in

their leadership and their vision.

And Sarah and I love connecting in real life.

So if you would like to have us come to your school,

your workplace, your organization,

to talk about hard conversations, navigating disagreement, harnessing disagreement as a strength.

We would love to do that.
