There are a number of excellent reasons why Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) should be Kamala Harris’s choice to run as Vice-President on her ticket.

Background

Josh Shapiro was born in Montgomery County, graduated from the University of Rochester and got his law degree from Georgetown law school. After serving as a Senate staff member, he returned to Pennsylvania and then ran and won a seat in the Pennsylvania General Assembly, where he served from 2005 to 2011. He then was elected to the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners in 2011 and was the chair of the first Democratic majority on that board in over a century.

Courage

In 2016, he ran for and won the position of Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. As an Attorney General, he ran a statewide grand jury, which uncovered evidence of massive coverups of child sexual abuse cases in the Catholic Church. He negotiated $1 billion settlement for the Commonwealth for opioid addiction.
