Josh Shapiro, Democratic candidate for PA governor, held an event Thursday evening at the site of his campaign's new Montco office.

JENKINTOWN, PA — Josh Shapiro made a stop near his hometown Thursday evening to address supporters and celebrate the grand opening of his new Montgomery County office headquarters.

Shapiro, state attorney general and resident of Abington Township, Montgomery County, addressed a large, standing crowd starting around 7 p.m. at an old house on Thomas Street in Jenkintown Borough that is now the site of his new 'All in Pennsylvania' county headquarters.

The gubernatorial candidate was joined by various local and elected officials, such as State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, a Democrat from neighboring Philadelphia County, State Sen. Art Haywood, a Montgomery County Democrat, and officials with the Montgomery County Democratic Party.

Supporters donning Shapiro for Governor T-shirts and carrying signs in support of the candidate mingled in the parking lot of the new campaign office, while volunteers served food and refreshments.

A reporter was not given the ability to enter the campaign office Thursday evening, since it was a staging ground for Shapiro during the event and security was very tight but was offered the opportunity to come back another day to catch a glimpse at the interior of the space, which is a historic house converted into a campaign headquarters in the heart of Jenkintown Borough.
