As he kicked off his second term today, Gov. Tom Wolf hailed Pennsylvania’s progress and promise in his inaugural speech.

The Democratic governor didn’t delineate specific policies or a legislative agenda for his second term. He will lay out more specifics in his budget address next month.

But his speech revealed much about his vision for Pennsylvania as he begins another four years as governor.

Here are seven takeaways from Wolf’s speech.

1. Teamwork makes the dream work

In his speech, Wolf acknowledges a “divided Harrisburg.” But he hailed a host of bipartisan accomplishments in an early excerpt of his speech.

Wolf cited criminal justice reform, the medical marijuana law, new protections for domestic violence victims and a more modern liquor system. He urged Republican and Democratic lawmakers to work together.

Rather than thumping his chest, Wolf sought to share the credit with the Legislature.

“The accomplishments of the last four years aren’t my accomplishments,” Wolf said. “These are our accomplishments.”

Republicans control the General Assembly. The GOP holds a smaller majority than it did in the last legislative session but its members are more conservative. Wolf probably won’t find his second term to be easier than his first.

Still, Wolf is aware of the challenges he faces, which is why he aimed to extend a hand in friendship as opposed to raising a fist.

“We’re not like Washington,” Wolf said. “We can work together here in Harrisburg. We can get things done.”

2. Crossroads to comeback

As Wolf ticked off the accomplishments of his first term, he aimed to change the perception that the Capitol - and Pennsylvania - is stuck in the mud.

“We’ve gone from a Commonwealth at a crossroads to a commonwealth on a comeback,” Wolf said.

He noted that more people are graduating high school, more kids are in pre-K programs and more Pennsylvanias have health insurance.

“Pennsylvania has created more than 200,000 new jobs – good jobs that support families,” Wolf said. “We’ve improved more than 20,000 miles of roadways and restored more than 1,900 bridges.”

He also noted the stronger fiscal footing of Pennsylvania’s state government, turning a $2.5 billion deficit into a surplus.

3. ‘Building the next Amazon’

Wolf said he wants Pennsylvania to be a place where “we don’t wait around for Amazon to move here, because we’re building the next Amazon.”

To that end, Wolf pledged to continue to invest in schools. He noted that under his administration, the state has poured an additional $1 billion into schools. He also talked about continuing to invest in infrastructure and positioning Pennsylvania as a hotbed for research and development.

It should be noted that Pennsylvania tried - and failed - to woo Amazon to the Keystone State.

4. His ‘toughest day’

The governor reflected on what he said was “unquestionably the toughest day I’ve had in this office."

Wolf referred to the mass shooting in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Oct. 27. A gunman shot and killed 11 people in the Tree of Life synagogue.

Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers attended the inauguration, delivering the invocation.

Even in the overwhelming grief of the shooting, Wolf said, “the people of Pennsylvania lifted us all up.” He hailed the grace and courage of police, the high school students who organized a vigil that drew 3,000 people, and members of the Islamic community who offered to guard synagogues.

“We all came together. We all did what we could. We all leaned on each other. We all found the strength to carry on,” Wolf said. “That’s who we are. That’s the Pennsylvania I grew up in; the Pennsylvania Frances and I raised our family in; and that’s the Pennsylvania we should all want.”

5. A vision of inclusion

Wolf repeatedly emphasized his vision of Pennsylvania as a place of inclusion.

“We are not like any other state,” Wolf said early in his remarks. “We began as a Holy Experiment in tolerance and inclusion, and for more than 300 years, history has chosen us as its crucible.”

He said we shouldn’t just appreciate William Penn’s spirit of tolerance; we should emulate it. He also recalled how Benjamin Franklin once worried about whether Pennsylvania could survive the arrival of so many German immigrants.

“Ben Franklin was right about a lot of things, but not about this,” Wolf said. “He should have had more faith in Pennsylvania. And I’m not just saying that because he was talking about my ancestors. Throughout its history, Pennsylvania has never been defined by one ethnicity, or one religion, or one ideology, or one region. We’ve always been diverse. And we’ve always been at the epicenter of change.”

6. A thank you to Mike Stack

Wolf didn’t exactly have the coziest relationship with Mike Stack, the outgoing lieutenant governor. But Wolf offered some gratitude in his remarks.

“I’d like to say a special thank-you to Mike Stack for his hard work over the last four years,” Wolf said.

Wolf welcomed new Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, thanking him “for his commitment to public service, and for his friendship.”

He also noted the more traditional suit on the famously casual Fetterman, saying, “Don’t you think the necktie looks pretty good on John?”

7. Voting is just the beginning

Wolf thanked the voters who gave him a second term and noted upticks in voting across the commonwealth. But he said Pennsylvanians need to understand their work doesn’t end in the voting booth.

He urged voters to be engaged and involved with their government.

“I ask you to choose hope over hopelessness, empathy over apathy,” Wolf said. “I ask you to choose action over passivity. I ask you to take the future of our Commonwealth into your own hands and help lead us forward.”
