Slashed funding, equity, parent choice: Pa. gov. candidates have hugely different education plans

Last year, the state passed a budget with record education spending. Shapiro is asking for more money for education, including more than $500 million more for schools in need.

As the president of the nation’s largest union, Becky Pringle plays a major role in Democratic politics, but a recent incident in Philly proved an embarrassment for the NEA.

Others, like state Sen. Sharif Street of Philadelphia, said voters "haven’t lost Josh Shapiro," noting "he will still be out there campaigning for this ticket."
