ICYMI: Monopoly utilities want to roll back 20+ years of #EnergyChoice to own and operate power plants again, even though they’re struggling to meet their own reliability benchmarks. @RepMatzie says the rollback is a bad idea, via @BCTimes. timesonline.com/story/opinio…

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.

Now that these federal funds are available for Pennsylvania, we can keep moving on priorities like providing clean water, preventing sinkholes, and creating good paying jobs that have been jeopardized by the illegal federal funding freeze.  Let's get back to it.

It was great to hear from State Reps at the Community Budget Briefing, detailing just some of the work happening in PA for Allegheny Co, for me to express gratitude for indigent defense funding in the budget, and to chat with @RepMayes @RepLPowell @VoteDanMiller @RepSalisbury!!

There is no place for violence targeted at anyone in Pennsylvania or the United States. During these times it’s imperative that we come together and pray for our communities and country.

What happens in the ER should be between doctors and their patients. There is no room for state legislators without medical degrees. We must ensure doctors have the freedom to provide all medically necessary care - including abortion. #AbortionIsHealthcare #ProChoiceProWoman

The PA House of Representatives have sent us 263 meaningful bills for us to vote on. We have an obligation - said @Senatorcosta - to take up these bills. We urge our Republican colleagues to bring these important bills up for a vote.

Accessible voting is a RIGHT not a privilege.#Votingrights shouldn't be a blue or red issue, it should be something we work together to advance. I'm proud to be fighting for all of my neighbors to have fair and equal access to voting!

Rep. @RobMatzie's bipartisan rail safety plan would protect Pennsylvania's communities, families and first responders. The Safer Rails, Safer Communities legislation passed in the PA House back in June but is stalled in the PA Senate. pahouse.com/Matzie/InTheNews…

“Medical debt makes us sicker because it prevents people from seeking preventative care and in some cases skipping healthcare services all together. It’s time the legislature addresses this issue that plagues countless Pennsylvanians.” @RepTarik pahouse.com/InTheNews/NewsRe…

It is one year since the East Palestine train derailment. The Pennsylvania House passed a bill, over the objections of the rail industry, to strengthen state rail safety regulations in June 2023. The bill has not moved in the state Senate since. spotlightpa.org/news/2023/06…
