There is a stark exception to this fall’s political activities by Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA). He has been a robust and smiling campaigner for just about all candidates with a “D” after their names running for elected office in Pennsylvania, whether they are seeking a local state representative’s seat, a seat in the U.S. Senate or a state government office, or to be president of the United States.

Last week, Shapiro spoke at a canvassing event in Harrisburg for Democrat Janelle Stelson’s congressional campaign, saying the former journalist is “the best person” for the job over sitting Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA).
