Hi, I’m Mihai Todea.
a letter from me to you
Fellow Pennsylvanians,
For too long, our state’s leadership has followed the same tired playbook: overspend first, then balance the budget by cutting expenses. But in this process, the middle class—the true backbone of Pennsylvania—has been left out time and again. While some live without worry, relying on government support, hardworking families struggle to make ends meet. There’s nothing wrong with offering help to those in need, but the question we must ask ourselves is: how long can this continue?
I am running for governor because I live this reality every day. I see the challenges faced by families in our communities, and I know the frustration of watching opportunities slip away. But I also believe in the power of action and the impact one person can make when they refuse to accept the status quo. This campaign is not just about politics—it’s about changing lives and building a future where every Pennsylvanian can thrive.
The answer is clear. It’s time to invest in the middle class now. Not tomorrow, not next year, but today. Because when the middle class thrives, Pennsylvania thrives. This is about restoring opportunity, fairness, and dignity to millions of families who deserve more than empty promises.
Now is the moment for all of us to come together as one — to break free from the old ways and build a new future. A future where every Pennsylvanian has a fair shot at success, where our communities grow stronger, and where our economy works for everyone.
The principles of LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS. A government truly of the people, for the people, and most importantly, by the people.
Let’s spread this message across the state. Let’s drive this movement forward. Together, we will transform the status quo and create a Pennsylvania that works for all of us.
Sincerely,
Mihai Todea
