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.
Strengthening public safety is a priority for Tom. His fight against crime has lead to a decrease in Pennsylvania’s crime rate across major categories. In addition, he has signed legislation to protect victims of crimes and made it more difficult for abusers to get guns.
Tom is going to keep working to make Pennsylvania more safe for everyone.
