It's concerning that fiscal conservatives want more government services but continue to vote against the funding to provide them. @pahousedems.com have delivered new revenue streams for the #PABudget, but the #PASenate ignores them. Make it make sense! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRqX...

Many people across the state, especially here in Reading, use mass transit in their everyday lives. Whether it’s getting to work, shopping, or doctor's appointments & procedures, mass transit plays a vital role & we need to properly fund it or face rate hikes & loss of routes. youtu.be/Ky0O0eSgbOI

Our kids deserve a fair shot for a bright future. They can’t do that if we don’t show them why going to school is vital & on an empty stomach. Access to a free breakfast will ensure they don’t have to worry about their next meal and can fully focus on learning & becoming better. youtu.be/5YwSLE55WM0

Despite what you might be hearing out of DC, the only federal or state funded healthcare that undocumented immigrants can get is in LIFE-OR-DEATH emergencies like heart attack or stroke. Everyone has the right to live regardless of their immigration status. youtu.be/nEtJoi8ATVg

Games like Roblox are being infiltrated by child predators and putting kids at risk. During a #PABudget hearing, I spoke with Attorney General Dave Sunday about what his office is doing to hold these companies accountable and keep kids safe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWLB...

I’ve been hearing a lot about people living in Reading having limited access to fresh water. I questioned leaders from DEP and DCNR about ways they’re prioritizing their commitment to Berks County and their plan for completion and preservation of the Schuylkill River trail. youtu.be/aNSebaU3ipA

During a #PABudget hearing, I spoke with the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development about how raising the minimum wage and investing in affordable housing in this year’s budget could benefit thousands of our neighbors in the Reading area. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k65f...

The Black community in Reading is on the rise, overcoming challenges and working tirelessly to improve the lives of our neighbors. It was an honor recognize that hard work, reflect on our past challenges, and forge a new path forward together at my 3rd Annual #BlackHistoryMonth celebration.

We live in hard times, especially if you are an immigrant. As part of Dominican Independence Day, let's honor & remember all the good Dominicans have done and continue to do, despite those that would paint them as villains just for being themselves. youtu.be/8Ut2W2hfwMA

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the victims, the unimaginable loss, and honor the resilience of survivors. Today is also a time to stand firmly against antisemitism and all forms of hatred, and a reminder that justice and compassion must always prevail.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary leader who fought for justice, equality, and the dream of a better, more inclusive world. Español: Hoy celebramos a Martin Luther King Jr., quien soñó y luchó por un mundo justo e igual para todos.

Merry Christmas Eve and may this evening bring peace and joy as we prepare to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.

Good news! Following a federal court ruling, Governor Shapiro is expediting November SNAP benefits allowing families who missed a payment to access the food they need. Benefits are being loaded onto EBT cards now. Check your balance with ConnectEBT and keep your card secure! #foodaccess

As Chairman of the Central PA Delegation, I’m calling on gas and electric utilities to consider LIHEAP delays and the financial hardships families in our region face due to the federal government shutdown. Thousands of households are struggling to pay for heat, electricity, and other essentials.

October 28th is the deadline to request a mail-in ballot! If you plan to vote by mail, visit vote.pa/mail to request your ballot now.

Over 3,290 families in Berks County are at risk of losing SNAP benefits and ACA subsidies this November. Call and demand U.S. Senator McCormick and your members of Congress take action now. 2 million Pennsylvanians are counting on them. Families will go without food and health care.

My heart goes out to the Dominican Republic and all the families impacted by the devastating tragedy that occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, April 8 at the Jet Set nightclub in the capital of Santo Domingo. May comfort, strength, and hope be with you throughout this process. #dominicanrepublic

It was great to have so many neighbors show up for our Grant Workshop with DCED, but if you couldn't make it out give us a call or stop by the office and we'll connect you with the information that can help you land a state grant. youtu.be/RWgIff1yvxY

The numbers don’t lie! While some say the current #PABudget proposal sets us on the path of fiscal collapse, PA’s track record says otherwise. Investing in education, our workforce & infrastructure is never irresponsible. youtu.be/xYJhHdjXViU

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." – Frederick Douglass #ReadAcrossAmericaDay #DrSeussDay

The rise of cryptocurrency opens the door for scammers. I had someone in my district lose $800 from a crypto scammer and struggled to pay rent that month. I asked the PA Office of Attorney General what steps they are taking to protect people from these types of scams. youtu.be/ZLAtWeeOgX4

All students in Pa. deserve an equal opportunity to learn and succeed, regardless of immigration status. I asked the Pa. Dept. of Education about the measures they’re taking to protect our vulnerable children within the classroom during these dark and uncertain times. youtu.be/vU9LgoUpUH8

I am proud to share that I secured $850,000 in Multimodal Transportation grant funding. These funds will help provide pedestrian protection and accessibility upgrades to the Penn Square Redevelopment project. The revitalization of our city is in full effect!

I questioned #PEMA officials about what they are doing to implement tighter cybersecurity as they update and replace old communications systems. We must ensure these vital systems are secure and ready when we need them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiXy...

I am excited to welcome these grants to my district to support pedestrian protection. Infrastructure development is a critical component for economic growth.

Today I questioned the @pahealthdept.bsky.social & Pennsylvania Department of Drug & Alcohol Programs on two very serious topics: the impact of losing federal funding for Medicare & Medicaid as well as the rise of gambling addiction, especially among our youth. youtu.be/smM8ki3Xy5c

I spoke with PennDOT about the future of mass transit in Reading, specifically the future of the proposed passenger train to Philadelphia being in jeopardy. The people of Reading have been waiting 40+ years for the train’s return & we can’t allow it to disappear again! youtu.be/mLOaMrgXijM

At a House Appropriations Committee budget hearing I was able to discuss lottery shortfalls and potentially taxing skill games with Department of Revenue Secretary Patrick Browne. youtu.be/9t_-YLJp9bk

#PABudget season has officially begun! I took the opportunity to talk to #PADCED about the economic impacts of increasing our minimum wage as well as how they will coordinate programs such as PA First to drive job creation in Reading & beyond. youtu.be/JNQRrIgKvSw

My office will be closed on Monday, February 17, in observance of Presidents Day. It will reopen on Tuesday, February 18.

My upcoming grant workshop can be a valuable step in your journey to secure grant funding for your project or organization, as it can provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare competitive grant applications. To RSVP, please email [email protected] or call (610) 376-1529.

We strongly support Governor Shapiro's action to protect Pennsylvanians, support communities and cut costs by challenging this funding freeze. Blocking these critical funds is an unacceptable attack on PA families, communities and economic stability. www.pahouse.com/InTheNews/Ne...

My father, an immigrant, worked in a chicken factory and worked hard every day. I support this bill that would help other non-citizens advance their careers as poultry technicians.
