Thank you to everyone who dropped off donations for @pghfoodbank at my shredding event with @RepBenham this past weekend in Brentwood! Thanks to all of you, 710 meals will be provided for our neighbors!

It's not enough to charge you an arm and a leg for prescription drugs - Wall Street greed is also hurting mom & pop pharmacies, driving them out of business.
@RepBenham continues to lead on reform:

Pennsylvania State @RepBenham (D-Allegheny County) goes after Republicans who use the Bible to attack gay and trans people but won't say a word about women and children hurt by Jeffrey Epstein.
"...The Bible seems to recognize throughout it, what many of us also recognize today, that the powerful often take advantage of children and teens. So if you're using the Bible to justify your vote on this bill, but won't call out those mentioned in the Epstein files, reconsider. If you're a person of faith but won't help us reopen a path to justice for survivals of childhood abuse, think again."

I’m excited to announce over $1.8 million in state grants to invest in our communities were awarded today. From improving public facilities to supporting local job creation, this funding helps advance projects that make our region stronger and better prepared for future growth.

Stop blaming Hispanics and Latinos for societal issues. Substance abuse, lack of job opportunities, educational inequity are the real problems. It's time to stand up to those who seek to divide us & build a more equitable society for all. #HispanicHeritageMonth

It's been 100 days without a state budget.
There's no excuse for letting our schools, senior centers, crisis centers, violence prevention programs, small businesses and neighbors go without essential resources. @PASenateGOP come to the table and let's get this done.

Great response from @RepBenham and @RepAbney to raiding capital to pay for transit operations. We need more, new funding for transit, not less! community.triblive.com/news/…

Pennsylvania is experiencing a statewide intermittent 9-1-1 phone outage. Please continue to dial 9-1-1 in case of an emergency. If you cannot get through via 9-1-1 and are in Allegheny County, dial (412)-473-3056. Allegheny County Emergency Services is fully operational and functioning. Please be patient with the call-takers while we work with our vendors to resolve this issue. Again, this is a state-wide issue.

Nearly 1 million working Pennsylvanians will benefit from the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit worth 30% of their federal EITC.
That’s up to $2,300 back in the pockets of folks who need it most.

This weekend I enjoyed a fantastic Doylestown Borough Pride Block Party! Now in its 6th year, the event draws many LGBTQ+ community members and allies. I was honored to share a few words with attendees and present Discover Doylestown with a plaque commemorating the event.

“In a world where LGBTQ+ individuals are facing higher rates of suicide and violence against them, lawmakers like us need to do more to protect them through bills like the Fairness Act.” @RepBenham on reintroducing the PA Fairness Act
