Pennsylvania Governor-elect Josh Shapiro has nominated former Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt, a Republican, for Pennsylvania Secretary of State—the position that oversees elections.

Schmidt helped administer elections in Philadelphia for 10 years where, as a commissioner, he was vice chairman of the board of elections, including during the controversial 2020 presidential election.
