The man who just swore on three Bibles to defend two constitutions as the new governor of Pennsylvania got the job for essentially one reason: He earned it.
Josh Shapiro, who grew up in a swath of Montgomery County that straddles the Turnpike just north of Philadelphia, was a high achiever from a young age, graduated from college in New York, got a law degree from Georgetown, won two elections to the state House and then two more for Pennsylvania attorney general, where he delivered some long overdue justice to some uber powerful entities, not the least of which was the Roman Catholic Church.
And get this – Shapiro’s biography happens to be true, which I see is no longer a requirement for the U.S. House of Representatives.
