“When you hear about ‘early voting’ in Pennsylvania, or ‘on-demand voting,’ or ‘over the counter voting,’ what they really mean in voting by mail ballot—in person—at a board of elections office. All Pennsylvanians have this option with mail ballot voting.”

🧼 Handwashing with soap and water is simple and inexpensive, and it can significantly reduce the number of young children who get sick, according to the CDC. 💦
🫶 Teaching people about handwashing helps them and their communities stay healthy. Studies show that handwashing education in the community can:
⬇️ Reduce the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by about 23%–40%
⬇️ Reduce the number of school days children missed because of gastrointestinal illness by 29%–57%
⬇️ Reduce diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by about 58%
⬇️ Reduce respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by about 16%–21%

"Since the start of President Trump’s second term, Americans have seen no real wage growth on average"
Prices & average hourly pay have risen by about 5.4 percent since Jan. 2025. Republicans are doing nothing to improve the economy they've destroyed.

Trump's unnecessary war has jacked up prices for groceries. Take the humble banana. From fuel costs to fertilizer shortages to diseases impacting crops to a tight labor market, Trump has wreaked havoc, and the Republican Party has failed to stop him. buff.ly/M1rLFRB

Bullying can make people feel isolated and increase the risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide -- and has serious and lasting negative effects on the mental health and overall well-being of youth involved.
But we can help stand up for each other at any time.

Last week's Health & Senior Fair was an enormous success! It's an honor to put this event together and ensure older Pennsylvanians know about all the resources available to them. If you missed this event, you can always call my office if you're looking for support.
President Trump’s recklessness is making it extremely difficult for local small businesses to stay in businesses. From the increased costs for restaurants to the tight budgets of families, the Republican Party has abandoned our communities. buff.ly/OcxREGN
