Thankful today that the #PaHouse Judiciary Committee approved several bills that would increase public safety and reduce the threat of gun violence in our communities across PA, including my bill to regulate 3D printed guns. pahouse.com/InTheNews/Ne...

My bill to protect homeowners from losing their home & generational wealth passed the #PAHouse this week! Ensuring financial counseling for reverse mortgages is a responsible way to safeguard seniors from unsuspectingly losing their life’s investment in their property www.pahouse.com/Cephas/InThe...

Ensuring that homeowners receive financial counseling before agreeing to a reverse mortgage is a responsible way to help folks understand the potential risks & available alternatives. This is a commonsense safeguard for seniors who are often unaware of the long-term risks with a reverse mortgage.

We stand in solidarity with our city workers and encourage all negotiating parties to continue working in good faith and great respect.
