We begin tonight with You Decide,
a lot at stake in the midterm elections tomorrow,
including the race for Pennsylvania governor,
the incumbent Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro,
facing off against Republican State Treasurer Stacey Garrity.
This is the 10 o'clock news. I'm Sheba Russell.
Both candidates making a final campaign push
with rallies tonight in our area.
Shapiro in Jenkintown and Garrity in Newtown.
Shawnette, what do they have to say tonight?
Well, Shiba, Shapiro talked about the power
that Pennsylvanians have in this election,
while Garrity talked much about what
she calls Shapiro's failed leadership.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Incumbent Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro walks out
to a crowd of supporters
gathered outside the plaza in Jenkintown tonight.
I came here tonight.
To tell you, you got a lot of power in this election.
Shapiro seeking a second term as governor,
tonight he reminded voters what's at stake with this election.
Here in Pennsylvania,
we have the opportunity to flip four congressional seats, enough.
To be a check on Donald Trump's chaos and cruelty and corruption.
He also laid out what he would
do right away should Democrats achieve a trifecta in Harrisburg,
which he says hasn't been done since 1992. A democratic governor,
democrat controlled state house and state senate.
Act one of 2027 will be to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
We will make sure to codify in the constitution
of this commonwealth abortion rights for women.
They will be protected always.
We'll fund mass transit and we'll build more housing
and we'll grow our economy.
While Shapiro didn't mention his challenger,
Republican State Treasurer Stacey Garrity,
she spoke directly about him during her rally in Newtown tonight.
Cuz Pennsylvania deserves so much better
than the last four years under the failed leadership of Josh Shapiro.
And I'm not doing this because I need a title.
I'm doing this for the same reason that I put on the uniform,
the same reason that I fought for American jobs in the private sector,
and that is to serve.
Gary talked about what day one would
look like under her administration.
We will unleash the energy that we have under our feet,
creating 200,000.
These are good-paying, good-paying jobs,
generating $5 billion to $6 billion of revenue
every single year that we desperately need.
If you don't like your electric bills, there's good news coming there.
We're going to reduce them 20%.
And she promised a transparent and accountable state government.
You deserve to know what goes
to bond behind closed doors in Harrisburg.
All right, and back here live, our election coverage,
of course, continues tomorrow.
I will be covering the gubernatorial race from Harrisburg tomorrow.
All right, Shawnette, thank you for bringing us up to date
on the gubernatorial race on this eve, election day eve.
