Over the last three years, PA House Democrats cut taxes for working families and small businesses. We tripled the Child Care Tax Credit and raised the property tax and rent rebate. Common sense. Fairness. And some breathing room for families.

PA House Democrats passed one of the strongest anti-poverty measures in years — the Working PA Tax Credit sends dollars straight to working families.

Online and sports gambling companies profit most from problem gambling. That’s why I led a first-of-its-kind study to figure out how we protect Pennsylvanians and put real safeguards in place.

With the support of Peace Islands, Share Food Program, NewCourtland, and my staff and incredible volunteers, we got 90 turkeys out to neighbors today!

Our work in Harrisburg isn’t just about numbers — it’s about uplifting people and our shared by values.. The same values at the heart of our nation’s founding: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

📣 Join me and Senator Haywood for a Community Forum at Chestnut Hill Hospital on Monday, Nov. 10, 6–7:30 PM! We’ll talk about healthcare, working families, and what’s happening in Harrisburg — then open the floor to your questions and ideas. Light refreshments will be served.

If Washington Republicans won’t act to feed our families, Pennsylvania Democrats will. My bill with Senator Vincent Hughes & Senator Art Haywood funds Meals on Wheels & food banks statewide — helping millions of Pennsylvanians about to lose SNAP benefits. #GovernmentShutdown #SNAP @pahousedems.com

We remember the eleven worshippers whose lives were stolen at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 — sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors taken by hate. Today and always, we stand with our Jewish community against antisemitism and every form of violence and bigotry.

This Saturday at 3pm I’ll help cut the ribbon on the brand-new Frances M. Maguire Hall at Woodmere Museum — a stunning new space celebrating Philly’s incredible art and artists!

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community — and today, I joined Senator Hughes, Rep. Parker, Rep. Carroll, and the PA Chamber to hear directly from local business owners about what they need to grow and thrive.

Honored to present a Pennsylvania House citation to Sister Michelle and the Sisters of Saint Joseph at Chestnut Hill College — celebrating an incredible 375 years of faith, compassion, and service in action.

UPDATE: HB1701 passed the House yesterday and now moves to the PA Senate! No child should have to learn in a classroom with mold, lead, or unsafe air. Proud to work with Reps Fielder, Powell & Probst on HB 1701 which helps us fix our schools and give every student a safe place to learn.

As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible work pediatric nurses do. Their skill and compassion are the backbone of children’s healthcare — and families count on them every day. 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Politics should never trump science. At Rep. Abigail Salisbury’s policy hearing, I spoke with experts about the Trump administration’s false Tylenol–autism claims. These kinds of myths don’t just mislead — they endanger the lives of women and their families.

🎗️ October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a time to lift up survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and keep the spotlight on access to screenings and care.

Nearly half a million Pennsylvanians are Jewish or Muslim. My bill with Rep. Dan Frankel to recognize the Eid holidays and the High Holy Days as state holidays is about respect and fairness — and it strengthens the bonds that hold our Commonwealth together.

Honored to help dedicate the memorial garden for Nicholas Elizalde. I secured $10,000 from the state to help make this possible. This space reminds us every child’s life is precious — and we must do better to invest in their future.

Shanah Tovah! 🌟 To everyone in our community celebrating Rosh Hashanah, may your year be filled with blessings, good health, and sweet moments with loved ones! #ShanaTova 🍎🍯

Quarterly check-in with Roxborough High’s leadership team this morning. They’re working nonstop to support students and lift up the community. Proud to stand with them and excited for what’s next for Roxborough! Image: With Principal Williams Smalley and AP Saavedra and May

Got my flu shot today! 💉 In a few weeks my mom and I will be giving shots to first responders. It’s a simple way we can all do our part to stay healthy and keep our community safe! Image: Teresa vaccinating Tarik

Former President Jimmy Carter said peace is doing, not waiting. On this International Day of Peace, I reminded 5th graders at Philadelphia Hebrew Charter and in East Falls that peace takes hard work, compassion, and persistence—and their energy gives me hope.

Hunger doesn’t take a day off — and neither does Philabundance in fighting hunger.

DC33 workers are always there when Philly needs them. My fellow Philadelphia Caucus House Democrats and I stand in full solidarity as AFSCME DC33 fights for fair wages and benefits. Because no city worker working full time should have to depend on public assistance!

As a nurse, I know how much people depend on honest, expert advice to keep their families safe. The decision by HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr to remove the CDC Vaccine Panel? It’s not just reckless — it’s dangerous and deadly. apnews.com/article/kenn...

We need action to protect patients and hospital staff from corporate greed & unsafe working conditions. We must ensure we put #patientsoverprofits
