In 2013, we were within reach of an AIDS-free generation. But Trump’s cuts to global health programs stifled that progress. We must continue urging federal policymakers to invest in prevention, treatment, and community support. Today we reaffirm our commitment to ending this epidemic. #WorldAIDSDay

Last week, I traveled to Elk County to kick off the 2025-26 hunting season with Hunters Sharing the Harvest. HSH delivers hundreds of thousands of pounds of venison to our charitable food network annually – more than any other wild game donation program in the nation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

🦃 😊 Wishing a safe, happy, and warm Thanksgiving to all! I’m thankful to be able to keep delivering for you.

When we fight, we win. After more than three years on the picket line, the strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is finally over. I am proud to have stood in solidarity with these courageous workers throughout their strike. This victory is a testament to the power of organized labor.

👑 Last week, the state Senate passed the PA CROWN Act, sending this historic House bill to ban discrimination based on hair and hairstyles to the governor’s desk.

☕ No contract? No coffee. I won’t be buying #Starbucks coffee until their workers get the contract they deserve. Over 2,000 baristas are now on strike. Join me and take the pledge: www.nocontractnocoffee.org #NoContractNoCoffee #UnionStrong

“We need to increase our revenue, and nobody is terribly interested in trying to increase taxes, so we have to get creative and come up with other ways of bringing in revenue.” While Pennsylvania will not be legalizing adult-use cannabis in 2025, there’s still hope that we can get it done in 2026.

We nearly solved food insecurity in this country, but Washington legislators have failed to recognize what works—and now hunger is rising across our Commonwealth. Even our food banks are struggling to stay open. Join me in fighting for those most vulnerable. Watch more below! youtu.be/JgUM7wwx6q8

Transgender people are not a hypothetical political debate. They are real people in our community. A world without trans people has never existed and never will. Watch Daniel’s story and see how we can create a world where trans people are free to be themselves. #TransgenderAwarenessWeek

I’m thrilled to see these new investments in the well-being of our community ❤️ From supporting access to lifesaving nutrition at the milk bank, to improving local infrastructure, these dollars will make a real and lasting difference and I’m proud to have helped secure this funding.

After over four months, the state budget impasse has ended, with the General Assembly delivering a budget that boosts public school funding by hundreds of millions of dollars, provides historic investments in anti-hunger programs, and creates a new tax credit for nearly 1 million Pennsylvanians.

While we wait for the GOP-controlled state Senate to get serious about state budget negotiations, my colleagues and I in the state House have continued doing our job of advancing legislation that improves the lives of Pennsylvanians. Here are just a few of the bills the #PAHouse passed last week 👇

"The vast majority of the people who receive SNAP benefits are adults who work. And those who are not working are not working because they can't," Democratic state Rep. Emily Kinkead said. cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/greater-pittsburgh-community-food-bank-snap-help/

As House Chair of PA Legislative Hunger Caucus, I am grateful for our governor's leadership and applaud our state's charitable food network for continually stepping up in a great time of need for so many.

🎃🚫🍭 No treats – just tricks for Pennsylvania taxpayers this year, thanks to PA Senate Republicans' failure to pass a budget. Senators Kim Ward and Joe Pittman have offered nothing but tricks this year.

🎃 My staff and I would like to wish everyone in our community a very Happy Halloween! We had a wonderful time connecting with all of you at Trunk-or-Treat events across the 20th Legislative District. My office’s costume theme this year was from the movie “Inside Out”.
