Praying for my friend @GovernorShapiro and his family today. Thank you to our first responders for quick action!
Since he was 8 years I’ve tried to be a good role model, adviser, and godfather. Now, that 8 year old boy is a man and today becomes a husband. John, I’m very proud of the man you have become and I know you will be a great husband. Congrats to John and Jade💙 @millersvilleu

So glad to be a part of this!
S. Weir Mitchell Elementary hosted a @Scholastic United States of Readers event! Nearly 800 students from Mitchell & G.W. Childs received free books, heard from @RepHarris and enjoyed a special presentation by award-winning author & Philly native Jamar Nicholas. #PHLed
So glad to be able to work with @LauraArnoldFdn @Arnold_Ventures and you @johnarnold on this great work. My friend Rep. @RepBenWaxman is leading the charge here in PA and makes sure this is top of mind for us all! #Reform #cjreform #justice
We @Arnold_Ventures funded a pilot to bring a Nordic-style restorative justice model to a prison in PA and assess its impact. The question was whether it could work within a vastly different criminal justice system.
Initial results are so promising that PA is expanding the program to 3 more prisons. In the long run, reducing recidivism (currently at 64%) will likely determine its broader adoption. But already, it has become the safest and most sought-after unit for inmates and guards alike.
95% of state prisoners will eventually return to their communities. Prisons must do more to maximize the chance of successful reintegration. Productive programming and humane living conditions are a necessary component of that.

Pennsylvania State @RepBenWaxman asked the Department of the Corrections for updates on the Little Scandinavia Unit in SCI Chester, a humane approach to incarceration. The unit is modeled after prisons in Scandinavia, where they focus on safety, transparency, innovation and reintegration into society.

More than three million Pennsylvanians count on Medicaid and CHIP for health care - and the jobs of millions more in every corner of the commonwealth depend on health care.
House Democrats are urging our U.S. Congressional Delegation to put people ahead of politics.
