Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania

In WHERE WE KEEP THE LIGHT, Josh Shapiro, a leading voice in the Democratic party, shares powerful stories about his family, his faith, and his career in public service. From an early age, Shapiro learned and practiced the power of helping others, values which he carried through successful campaigns for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Montgomery County Commissioner, Pennsylvania Attorney General, and ultimately the Governorship, which he won in a decisive victory in 2022.

In his book, Shapiro opens up about the toughest and most pivotal times of his life including: when an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s residence while he and his family slept inside; when he was under consideration to be Kamala Harris’ running mate in the 2024 election; and how experiences in his childhood shaped him to be the empathetic leader and pragmatic problem-solver that he is today.

In WHERE WE KEEP THE LIGHT, Josh Shapiro reflects on what he has learned along his journey – knocking on doors, serving his community, and bringing people together to tackle the tough problems we face.
