After the federal government undermined longstanding vaccine recommendations, @governor.pa.gov has stepped in to make sure Pennsylvanians can continue to access affordable healthcare. Insurance companies may have been able to charge hundreds of dollars for routine vaccines.

September is Love Your Library Month in Allegheny County! Now in its 10th year, this countywide effort reminds all of us to show a little extra love by investing in our local libraries so they can continue to grow and support our communities in so many ways.

I learned a lot yesterday during a policy hearing on housing affordability in McKees Rocks with @pasenatormiller.com, @senatorcosta.com, Sen. Lindsey Williams, and @senatorfontana.com. Housing remains one of the biggest challenges facing PA and too many are unable to afford to rent or buy a home.

My office is partnering with the VFW and American Legion Department of Pennsylvania to provide military veterans the opportunity to meet with a representative and discuss veterans assistance opportunities.

Today is National Voter Registration Day! Voting is the most important right and responsibility of citizens in our country. Today is a great reminder to check that you're registered to vote and all of your information is up to date ahead of this November's election: pasenate.com/vote

I was proud to present $25,000 to the Allegheny County Police Mounted Unit to purchase large animal rescue equipment. Whether protecting the wellbeing of their horses or rescuing a person in distress, this equipment gives officers the ability to handle complex situations with confidence and care.

It was a beautiful weekend, and my team was happy to be out at Baldwin Borough Public Library Family Fun Fest and Monroeville Community Day! Do you have a community event coming up where we can share information about our office and ways we can help? Let us know at [email protected]!

I’m proud to announce that the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) has approved $5,556,390 in grant funding in Allegheny County through programs designed to support victims, strengthen public safety, and prevent violence.

As Co-Chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I'm thrilled the Beagle Bill passed the Senate. This bill will expand protections for cats and dogs used in lab testing, prevent state funding from being used for cruel and painful testing, and allow research animals to be adopted.

Today we remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, and honor the courage shown by our first responders, who ran towards danger that day, as they do every day.

Do you hate robocalls? Today in the Consumer Protection & Professional Licensure Committee, I voted to approve a bill that would restrict the hours that robocalls can be made.

Yesterday, I was pleased to welcome retired Major William Roland to the Senate. Commander Roland has dedicated himself to our country and commonwealth, serving for 26 years in the military, 16 years on North Braddock Borough Council, and countless hours as a volunteer in his community.

It was Darrin Kelly who taught me how to speak up and fight for workers, and his influence guides me in being a loud voice for working families throughout Allegheny County and in Harrisburg. His bravery as a fire fighter and boundless energy as a labor leader have made Allegheny County better.

On Friday, I joined @repinglis.com, Rep. Andrew Kuzma, and representatives from PennDOT to honor the late Raymond T. Book and announce the naming of a portion of Rt. 51 as the Raymond T. Book Memorial Highway.

The state budget was due months ago but still hasn't been finalized and it's important to know how that affects you. Join me as I travel around the county to outline the impact of a delayed budget.

We’re sad to see summer go, but my team and I enjoyed seeing everyone out and about through the summer. We visited or hosted over 30 events in 20 different communities in just June, July, and August! Check out where we’ve been this summer:

Southwestern PA has a long history of fighting for workers’ rights and many of the fundamental freedoms we take for granted were earned by the blood, sweat, and tears of generations of local working families, from the Homestead Strike to today.

My offices be closed this afternoon and remain closed on Monday, September 1st in honor of Labor Day. Enjoy your long weekend and remember the sacrifice and achievements of the American labor movement.

My staff will be attending the Monroeville Jazz Fest this weekend. Drop by our tables to say hi and learn more about the services my offices can provide!

No one should feel unsafe doing their job. That's why I've introduced Senate Bill 976 to protect hotel workers from harassment and violence in the workplace. This bill would require hotels to equip employees servicing guest rooms alone with panic buttons.

I stood with nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital to celebrate their recent vote to form a union with @seiuhcpa.org. I saw the dedication these nurses have to high-quality care when my son was born at Magee 4 years ago. Welcoming our son was made safer and easier by their knowledge and skills.

This morning, I joined Rick and his team from the PA DEP to learn more about the testing they do on fish in our local waterways. With over 50 different species of fish in the Youghiogheny and more than 70 in the Monongahela, our rivers are more vibrant today than they have been in generations.
