As Chairman and CEO of DTE, Jerry Norcia is committed to improving lives with energy – literally – by powering local homes and businesses , and by helping people in need in those communities.

Born in Toronto to Italian immigrants, Jerry learned and perfected his English in school. From his parents, he learned to respect everyone no matter what they do in life or where they come from, and that hard work, determination and integrity are the keys to being a good person. Jerry graduated from the University of Windsor with an engineering degree, then joined DTE in 2002, moved to Michigan in 2006 and became CEO in 2014.

Jerry’s vision for the future of DTE includes net-zero climate goals, a smart and resilient energy grid, and increased wind and solar energy in Michigan. He has changed the way that people pay for their electricity and gas, helping those in need before their need becomes too great. In addition to his great career success, Jerry has volunteered his time, using his experience and knowledge to help all sorts of organizations and people, including helping the children of the Yeshiva Beth Yehudah get the kind of education that changed his life. Jerry and his wife Josie have three adult children and four grandchildren.

Josh Shapiro grew up in Pennsylvania, watching his parents serve their community — his father was a pediatrician, and his mother was an educator. Their example inspired Josh to enter into public service, and from a young age, Josh recognized that standing up for others was how he wanted to spend his career. After marrying his high-school sweetheart Lori and welcoming their first child, Josh returned to his hometown and successfully ran for State Representative. As Representative, Josh helped write and pass some of the toughest ethics laws in state history. His work earned him a reputation as a rare public servant willing to take on the status quo — “a blast of oxygen in the smoke-choked back rooms of quid-pro-quo Harrisburg.”  

In 2016, Josh successfully ran to be Pennsylvania’s Attorney General. As Attorney General, he has restored integrity to an office badly in need of reform and taken on big fights for the people. He has proven to Pennsylvanians he can bring people together to solve tough problems and is unafraid to enforce the law without fear or favor. 

In January 2021, Josh was sworn in for his second term as Attorney General. He arrested more than 8,000 drug dealers while investigating and suing pharmaceutical companies and the CEOs who knowingly perpetuated the opioid crisis to line their own pockets. He stood up for everyday consumers, seniors who’ve been scammed, and students preyed upon by private lenders by obtaining over $328 million in relief to Pennsylvanians who have been ripped off. He led on criminal justice reform, bringing activists and law enforcement together to launch a new statewide police misconduct database, taking on employers who steal from Pennsylvania workers. 

In November 2022, Josh made history as the highest vote-getter in Pennsylvania gubernatorial history. Alongside his running mate Austin Davis, Josh is working with every Pennsylvanian to move our Commonwealth forward. 

Josh and Lori are the proud parents of Sophia, Jonah, Max, and Reuben.
