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.
Over the last few years, Tom has fought to reform our criminal justice system and has signed legislation to make it easier for Pennsylvanians to transition from incarceration. His work has lead to a decrease in prison populations while reducing Pennsylvania’s crime rate.
Tom is going to keep working to make the justice system more fair and effective.
