With deep roots in agriculture, 4-H has been giving young people hands on opportunities to learn, grow and serve their communities for generations. It was great to hear from students about their experiences. Thanks for stopping by the Capitol!

Happy World Teachers’ Day! We’re lucky to have so many dedicated teachers here in Northeast Philadelphia and around the Commonwealth who show up every day for our kids. Thank you for everything you do to help them learn, grow, and succeed — both in and out of the classroom. 🍎📚

Dropped off some hoagies at the 15th Police District today as a small thank you to the officers who serve our community every day. Always good to stop by and say hello. Thanks to everyone at the 15th for all you do for our neighborhoods!

It was a great morning spending some time with the Tacony seniors at the Mayfair Rec Center! I enjoyed sitting down for lunch, talking about some legislation I’m working on in Harrisburg and, most importantly, hearing directly from neighbors about the issues they’re facing.

The Ryan-Judge rivalry lived up to the hype this weekend! I had the pleasure of meeting students, parents, and staff from both schools and catching up with everyone who came out. After an overtime battle, Father Judge took home the win. ⬇️

We had a productive conversation about Senate Bill 210, also known as Bernard Gribbin’s Law, which I introduced to strengthen protections for transit workers, as well as potential solutions to SEPTA’s funding challenges including taxing skill games to help fund public transit. ⬇️

I appreciate TWU Local 234 taking the time to meet and share their perspective. Keeping our transit workers safe and transit moving is a priority for me.

For more than 60 years, The Dining Car has been part of the fabric of the Northeast. What started as the Torresdale Diner has grown into a place generations of Northeast Philly families know and love — whether it’s a quick breakfast, a late night meal, or just catching up.

We’re seeing more and more e-bikes popping up around the Northeast, especially with younger riders. Pennsylvania law has rules around age, speed, motor size and where e-bikes can be used. If you or your kids are riding one, take a minute to know the rules and stay safe.
