HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Wolf will wrap up eight years in office next month, having steered Pennsylvania through unpredictable times when the Democrat made life-and-death decisions in the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic and managed the battleground state’s presidential election amid unprecedented Republican efforts to overturn it. The 74-year-old Wolf leaves office with solid polling numbers and his endorsed successor, Attorney General Josh Shapiro, succeeding him. Unemployment was at an all-time low in November, the treasury is stuffed with cash and Wolf points to a lasting legacy of dedicating billions more dollars to public schools. He says his progressive vision produced results for Pennsylvanians, making lives better in an efficient, fair and honest way.
