Governor Shapiro Announces All Cabinet Members, Governor's Office Staff, and Senior Managers Have Signed Integrity Pledge

Statement

Today, Governor Josh Shapiro announced that 100% of the employees covered by his ethics package -- all cabinet members, Governor's office staff, and senior managers with the Commonwealth -- have signed the Governor's integrity pledge, and that all Governor's office senior staff and cabinet members have completed mandatory ethics training, led by ethics expert Eric Fillman.

During his first week in office, Governor Shapiro announced a three-part ethics package to ensure that the highest standards of integrity guide every action taken by the public servants, officials, and employees under the Governor's jurisdiction. Governor Shapiro's integrity pledge and the mandatory ethics training are modeled after best practices he established in the Office of Attorney General.

"The integrity pledge every senior administration official and Governor's office staff member has signed is a promise to the people of Pennsylvania that we will serve their best interests each and every day," said Governor Shapiro. "As Attorney General, I held my agency and my staff to the highest standards of integrity and accountability, and I'm proud to say that we are bringing those same standards to the Governor's Office. Together, we will promote trust in government and accountability for public officials while fostering dialogue and allowing our administration to bring people together to deliver results for all Pennsylvanians."
