Today, I'm announcing I will not issue any execution warrants during my term as Governor. When one comes to my desk, I will sign a reprieve every time — and I’m asking the General Assembly to send me a bill abolishing the death penalty in Pennsylvania once and for all.

Prison officials claim this is done to "protect" LGBTQ+ people, but solitary causes lasting trauma & harm. LGBTQ+ populations face a higher risk of self-harm even outside of prison. Inside, people exposed to solitary develop PTSD, anxiety, depression, & suicidal ideation.
