Pennsylvania gets four more years of Democrat leadership with the inauguration of Gov. Josh Shapiro, the state’s former attorney general, on Tuesday. At 49 years old, he is Pennsylvania’s youngest governor.

Also sworn in was Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, 32. Davis won both this office and his reelection bid in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Shortly after the election, Davis vacated his seat in the state House. He is the first black lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania.
