As Stacy Garrity continuously called Pennsylvania "mediocre," Garrity demonstrated she would not fight for Pennsylvanians. Garrity supported Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," which stripped health care from thousands of Pennsylvanians, set up future cuts to Medicare, cut SNAP benefits, and rescinded tax credits that experts warned would increase energy costs for Pennsylvanians. She supported Trumpâs disastrous tariffs that harmed small businesses and increased prices for Pennsylvanians. Garrity praised Trumpâs DOGE while Social Security lines grew, funding cuts threatened universities, farmers, and food banks, and Pennsylvania workers were laid off. Garrity posed a threat to Pennsylvaniansâ reproductive freedoms with her anti-abortion extremism. Garrity denied the 2020 election results, opposed Pennsylvaniaâs mail-in voting system, and would allow Trump to overreach his authority and send federal forces against Pennsylvanians. Stacy Garrity, who was "honored" to receive Trump's endorsement, would leave Pennsylvania vulnerable to Trumpâs attacks. She also had a track record of ethical concerns in the private and public sectors that questioned her judgment and ability to serve as Pennsylvania governor.

Garrity repeatedly signaled she would allow Trump to overstep his authority and deploy federal forces against Pennsylvanians. In September 2025, Garrity said she would be open to Trump sending federal forces and National Guard troops against Philadelphia residents. In February 2026, when asked how she would handle a surge of protests over federal immigration operations in Pennsylvania, Garrity called for local cooperation with federal immigration and claimed anti-ICE demonstrators were âwell-coordinatedâ âpaid protestors.â In July 2026, Garrity called Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner a âbad actorâ for refusing to cooperate with Trumpâs ICE even though Krasner held town halls to advise Pennsylvanians on how to protect themselves if Trump deploys federal troops in Philadelphia.
In December 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Trump did not have the authority to deploy National Guard troops in Chicago. Despite this ruling, Trump suggested he would ânot hesitate to deploy troops in the future.â
The Trump administration faced repeated legal challenges for overstepping its authority in deploying federal forces without the consent of governors and mayors across several American cities. In January 2026, Minnesota and Illinois sued the Trump administration over its deployment of federal agents to Twin Cities and Chicago for immigration operations, arguing the unprecedented deployment of federal officers was a âfederal invasionâ and unconstitutional violation of the Tenth Amendment.
Message: Stacy Garrity would allow Trump to overreach his authority and send federal forces against Pennsylvanians.
Stacy Garrity repeatedly faced ethical concerns and questions over her record in the private sector and tenure in the Pennsylvania Treasuryâs Office.
Garrityâs previous work in the private sector raised questions about whether she failed to register as a lobbyist. As a vice president of Global Tungsten and Powders, she lobbied for federal legislation and managed hundreds of thousands of lobbying dollars to promote policies that benefited the company, including tariffs on foreign competition and tariff exemptions for her company. From 2010 to 2019, Garrity also worked as director of the Munitions Industrial Base Task Force, a group that spent more than $1 million lobbying the federal government on defense issues.
Garrity joined the board of ECM Insurance Group in 2024, a for-profit insurance company, earning nearly $60,000 in 2025, and would oversee the Insurance Department that regulated the company if elected governor. Garrity would even earn nearly $200,000 if a pending acquisition of the company closes.
Garrityâs Treasury office refused to fulfill a public records request over Garrityâs changes to the Investment Policy Statement as she stood to benefit from the changes. Observers noted Garrityâs changes ended the practice of considering investmentsâ environmental and social impacts and would benefit the natural gas industry while Garrity reported she earned an income from two natural gas companies.
Message: Stacy Garrity had a track record of ethical concerns that questioned her judgment and ability to serve as Pennsylvania governor.
Stacy Garrity repeatedly accepted support and donations from several controversial donors tied to Trumpâs circle, scandals, corruption, and allegations of sexual assault and harassment.
On March 27, 2026, Trump hosted a lavish fundraiser for Garrity at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Garrity accepted nearly $10,000 in in-kind donations from Adam Kidan, who helped organize the fundraiser and previously pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy charges related to the Jack Abramoff & SunCruz Casinos scandal. In July 2026, Trump pardoned Kidan after he served prison time for his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal from 2006 to 2009 and became a major Republican donor in 2017. At the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Garrity also accepted $1,500 from the Trump-pardoned Republican influencer John Strand, who was found guilty after participating in the January 6th insurrection.
Cliff Maloney pledged his organization, Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania, would knock on 750,000 doors on behalf of Garrityâs gubernatorial campaign. Since 2020, Garrity accepted $16,000 from Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania and she repeatedly promoted the right-wing grassroots group. Garrity embraced Maloneyâs group despite Maloney previously facing accusations of sexual assault and harassment and falsely accusing a group of nuns of voter fraud during the 2024 election.
Message: Stacy Garrity surrounds herself with controversial individuals with histories of corruption and assault allegations.
Message: Pennsylvanians could not trust Stacy Garrityâs word after flip-flipping on data center development policies when it was politically convenient.
