Observed amazing Junior Achievement volunteers in action today. JA is a school-based program dedicated to empowering our young people. They run programs throughout South Central PA and were at Central Dauphin MS teaching entrepreneurship. Thanks to the students for welcoming us!

We love visitors to the Capitol! Susquehanna Township Middle School Select Choir visited today and sounded wonderful!

I ended last week participating in this year's Legislator Forum hosted by The Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC. I'm grateful for our regional business community and an opportunity to connect, learn priorities, and hear how we can best support one another.

Pennsylvania needs to make hiring and retaining a quality state workforce easier. We also need to cut the red tape for local governments struggling to fill civil service positions. I am proud to sponsor + champion Governor Shapiro's Civil Service Modernization Act in the senate.

Proud to partner with Rep. David Madsen with companion bills to help workers fill critical vacancies across the state. Thank you Governor Shapiro for leading the way to help displaced federal workers. www.politicspa.com/shapiro-sign...

It’s only Tuesday but it’s been a busy week. Yesterday I continued my listening tour meeting with Conewago where we discussed infrastructure and roads, Hummelstown where we talked policing and revitalization, and South Hanover where we discussed township projects and growth.

Job Fair happening tomorrow at the PA Farm Show Complex from 9:30AM-1PM. There will be more than 30 PA state agencies advertising job opportunities - share with friends and family so they don't miss out!

I hosted my first telephone town hall and enjoyed taking live questions from the audience. You shared concerns about federal overreach, housing insecurity, and childcare affordability - among other things. We've had folks calling asking about the call - you can find it:

One week from today, Job Fair happening at the Farm Show Complex from 11AM-1PM.

On behalf of constituents in the 15th District and across the state, thank you Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) for making the right decision to suspend and investigate the proposed rate hike by UGI Utilities.

First day of budget hearings just finished up. Two hearings down, 15 to go! Asking questions to make sure the needs of SD15 is part of the conversation.

Visited Heroes Grove in Lower Paxton this afternoon to celebrate the community grant they received from America250PA.

I recently filed a letter with the PA Public Utility Commission in opposition of the proposed energy hikes. Every dollar counts for working families in the 15th District.

In an effort to respond to the many letters and calls of concern regarding our immigrant neighbors, I brought together community leaders and local elected officials to hear firsthand perspectives of those experiencing anti-immigrant sentiment and to educate one another on our collective rights.

I joined Governor Shapiro at CrossPoint Early Learning Center to meet their hardworking staff and sweet students. Parents throughout Senate District 15 are struggling to find affordable childcare. Together we advocated for the Governor’s proposal to invest $55 million in childcare workforce grants.

Governor Shapiro's proposed 2025-2026 Executive Budget is dedicated to lowering costs and keeping our families safe and I'm hopeful many of the investments will be preserved as a final budget is negotiated.

Celebrating Black History Month and the profound contributions, sacrifices, and achievements of Black Americans, February and all year long.

Our listening tour includes our school districts. Great conversations with the superintendents at Derry Twp, Middletown Area and Steel-High! We thank administrators and teachers for all you do.

Today I joined the PA Breast Cancer coalition in honoring the hard work and research happening at Penn State Health Hershey Medical Center. The $200,000 grant contribution towards the research Dr. Shen and Dr. Matters are doing is well deserved and will move us towards a cure for breast cancer.

After these frigid days, I'm looking at my electric bill like 🫣. Today the Governor announced how he's prevented future price spikes after an agreement with PJM. Energy and water are essential and this could help residents save hundreds of dollars on their utility bills.

I joined a PA Immigration Coalition briefing to understand the impact of Trump's Executive Orders on my immigrant communities. We are collecting "know your rights" information and will distribute widely.

We're serious about serving SD15. I'm visiting every municipality and listening to leaders. It's the best way for us to know how to support our wonderful communities.

Economic development is one my top priorities for the 15th District. It was exciting to see the vision and plans for what's being developed at the former Harrisburg East Mall.

Make a plan for Monday! I'll start the morning at the 16th annual Central PA MLK Day of Service and be at the Whitaker Center at noon as part of the MLK Day of Reading. Honored to participate in these events again this year. To learn more about volunteer projects, https://buff.ly/4hmSx9t

Thanks to the elected officials and township managers for meeting with us. We visited East Hanover and Middle Paxton Twps today. I look forward to partnering with them to better serve our residents.

Another good meeting from earlier this week. Excited to support all Penn State Harrisburg is accomplishing through their impressive facilities, staff, and student body.

Continuing our listening tour with Lower Swatara Twp leaders. Conversation centered on traffic concerns + how my office can advocate to help keep roads safer. I also enjoyed reconnecting with Highspire and learned about their fire company needs and pride in their green spaces. More visits to come!

As of today, applications to apply for property tax/rent rebate are open! The program supports renters and homeowners who meet program criteria. More information can be found at the website listed, https://buff.ly/3PDjiKM

I was a first-time participant in the celebrity cow milking event at the Farm Show last week. After my team finished third (out of four teams,) it might be my last 😊

Came for the interview with Secretary Redding - stayed for the milkshake. I recommend the mint!
