I was fortunate to have my family with me as I was sworn-in to represent the 105th District in the #PaHouse this week! My top priorities are paid sick leave, education, protecting fundamental rights, increasing the minimum wage and expanding access to life-saving medication.

Salt is permanently changing the chemistry of our freshwater streams. We must reduce the amount of salt used on our roads during winter weather. I'm confident we can work with PennDOT to keep our roads safe without putting the environment and wildlife at such a risk.

I had a great morning joining the leadership from the Panther Ram Foundation, CD School District, @LowerPaxtonTwp, and others as the CDSD NutriPacks Program finds a new space! The program provides meals and snacks for more than 1,200 kids in the district. Thanks for your work!

I was honored to join my colleagues for the historic #PAHouse session at Congress Hall in Philadelphia. This ceremonial session celebrated the country’s 250th anniversary and highlighted the progress we’ve made since!

Happy Labor Day! Unions and their members are the reason why current workers enjoy so many employee benefits. Past generations fought and died for safe workplaces, the 40-hour work week, pensions, and more. Take time to thank a union member today. #laborday @PaHouseDems

This morning, Veolia discovered temporary water discoloration affecting customers served by its 6th Street Water Treatment Plant. Treatment equipment has been repaired and is operating properly, but if you are still experiencing issues, please report it by calling 888-299-8872.

I started my career in state government as an intern for former State Representative Mark McNaughton! Internships are a great way to learn and grow professionally, so I’m wishing those in the @PAAuditorGen office and all current interns a happy National Intern Day!

I offer my deepest condolences to Chief Murphy’s family, friends, and the Penbrook community who are enduring this devastating loss. Chief Murphy's work ethic and dedication to the Citizen’s Fire Company of Penbrook was always evident. His memory will stay with us forever.

I worked with more than 20 volunteers earlier this week to pack 320 boxes for seniors in need at the @centralpafb for PA Day. I had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to help out again soon!
