I’m experiencing some mild symptoms and will continue serving the people of Pennsylvania as I isolate at home.
Shapiro is running for governor but is unopposed in Tuesday's Democratic primary.
In November, he'll square off against one of nine Republican candidates competing in Tuesday's primary: Lou Barletta, Jake Corman, Joe Gale, Charlie Gerow, Melissa Hart, Doug Mastriano, Bill McSwain, Dave White, Nche Zama. Corman and Hart remain on the ballot but both announced last week that they were bowing out of the race.
