Security Upgrades for Governor's Residence
Administration officials have announced $1 million in taxpayer-funded security upgrades for Governor Shapiro's private home.
In addition, the governor's official residence in Harrisburg will receive safety upgrades totaling $32.3 million. This decision comes after an attack occurred at the 29,000-square-foot mansion in April while the governor and his family were asleep.
The horrifying attack on the Governor, his family, and Commonwealth property, coupled with the unfortunate rise in political violence across our country, has made these updates necessary to protect the Governor and his family and ensure the continued operation of the executive branch of the Commonwealth.
According to officials, the threats against elected officials require taking important steps to ensure their safety. They noted that
No family should have to live behind bulletproof glass or behind large walls – but the nature of the threats against elected officials today require us to take these important steps.
Furthermore, officials emphasized that the threat to a high-profile elected official like Governor Shapiro does not end when he leaves the Governor’s Residence.
