Here in Bridesburg, Port Richmond, and the River Wards we have a deep connection to the Delaware River. I think the mural outside my district office really puts that connection into perspective.

After a lot of hard work we’ve finally passed #PABudget 2026-27! We’re continuing to make major investments in education, cost of living increases for long retired police, firefighters & teachers, and getting working families the help they need. youtube.com/shorts/sBTVJ...

If there is one thing most can agree on it's giving every opportunity to support our first responders. Very proud to support Rep. Marla Brown on her amendment to my bill so that people renewing their driver’s license could donate to PA Office for the Deaf, fire & EMS.

I'm in Harrisburg doing the most important job I have as a legislator: working to get the #PaBudget done.

Don’t drink and boat. The Fourth of July weekend will be busy on waterways across Pennsylvania. Before you head out on the water, make sure you know the rules and safety requirements.

Government should focus on making life better for people - all people. I fight for my neighbors in the Lower Northeast and Riverwards to get prices under control, access better education, and reign in data centers that threaten to spiral utility bills out of control.

Birthright citizenship – recognizing that people born on U.S. soil are U.S. citizens – is a fundamental concept for American society and government. I am glad the Supreme Court reaffirmed this basic principle of our law and democratic form of government.

My office's next veterans assistance day is this Thursday, July 2nd. We will have a veteran service officer at our office, and this occurs on the first Thursday of every month. Appointments are required, so call my office to set up yours.

There has been a lot of misinformation going around about what HB2632 would and wouldn't do for families in our area. The #PaHouse passed this bill on Monday to ensure accountability and preserve these important opportunities for access to education for the kids in our neighborhoods.

CORRECTING THE RECORD: My statement on HB2632.

Helping Firefighters // MAJORITY POLICY

Congratulations to our community’s very own Riverfront North for receiving one of the 2026 Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence!

Hotdog. Baseball. Railroad. I have most of the speech therapy list memorized. I’ve struggled with my hearing since I was six years old. But support of adult hearing aids stops at the age of 21 leaving thousands without access to technology that could improve their lives. I'm working to fix that!

The hard-working families in the Lower Northeast and River Wards should not have to struggle to pay their utility bills on top of the already skyrocketing costs of food, clothing, and shelter. I am fighting in Harrisburg for affordability in our neighborhoods.

In observance of Juneteenth, my offices will be closed tomorrow, Friday, June 19.

In Pennsylvania, we want to promote businesses that take care of their employees. I was proud to vote for a bill that would provide tax relief for small businesses that provide healthcare for workers.

Dems Fighting to Save Your Healthcare // MAJORITY POLICY POINT

The communities in my district have a long history of illness caused by contamination by under-regulated industries. I will always fight to make sure that the families in my neighborhood have access to clean drinking water!

Today begins Pride Month, a celebration and recognition of the LGBTQ+ community. During these times where LGBTQ+ people’s rights and humanity are under attack, it’s important that we stand with them and continue to fight for a fair and inclusive world for our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors.

Data centers aren't just coming, they're already here. While we all want Pennsylvania to continue to be a leader in innovation and job creation, it is important that we are protecting our residents from rate increases and environmental consequences in the process.

Urban agriculture is about access to good, healthy food for our neighbors and caring for the land that we live on. It was fantastic to see neighbors and our partners who make that possible here in Philadelphia come together.

As we prepare to celebrate Memorial Day, please note that my office will be closed tomorrow, Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25. We wish you a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

My office will be closed tomorrow for Election Day. Make sure you get out to vote and make your voice heard!
