On January 20, 2015, Tom Wolf was sworn in as Pennsylvania’s 47th governor. Gov. Wolf grew up in a small south central Pennsylvania town in York County and still lives in the house he was brought home to from the hospital. Gov. Wolf left York County to attend college at Dartmouth, but he interrupted his studies to join the Peace Corps and served two years in a small village in India before returning to finish his undergraduate degree.
Tom has worked to ensure Pennsylvania provides high-quality services for veterans, while also fighting to ensure the federal government continues its programs and funding to aid veterans and their families. Working with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Tom has worked to bolster its programs, improve services provided to veterans and military families, and fought cuts that would have hurt programs at the department.
Tom is incredibly proud of Pennsylvania’s more than 800,000 veterans and the thousands of active duty men and women putting themselves in harms way and will keep fighting to ensure programs for veterans and military families are protected and improved.
