I offer my deepest condolences to Chief Murphy’s family, friends, and the Penbrook community who are enduring this devastating loss.
Chief Murphy's work ethic and dedication to the Citizen’s Fire Company of Penbrook was always evident. His memory will stay with us forever.
It was amazing to see individuals with disabilities receive the gift of mobility through Variety, the Children’s Charity at an event this week at the Capital Area Intermediate Unit.
Thanks to Tom Baker and the leadership at Variety for making dreams come true!
Come on down to the PA Farm Show Complex for the @mecum auto auction! The cars they have on display are incredible. The last day is tomorrow so catch it while you can!
I had an amazing time on the latest episode of InSight Interviews with Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania's Paul Zavinsky!

I worked with more than 20 volunteers earlier this week to pack 320 boxes for seniors in need at the @centralpafb for PA Day. I had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to help out again soon!
During a #PABudget hearing, I asked @PAStatePolice how they manage police coverage in smaller parts of the Commonwealth that might not have their own localized police force. https://t.co/6Qn1SJbVmT
On Saturday, I attended the 28th African American Read-In at Steelton-Highspire Elementary School
The event showcased local African American authors and performances highlighting the 2026 Black History Month theme, “A Century of Black History Month Commemorations.”
Last week, I joined advocates, leaders, and history makers at @GovernorShapiro's Residence to celebrate Black History Month. It was a wonderful time and an incredible way to wrap up the month.
I had an incredible time at PA STEAM Academy's Living Wax Museum! Students were tasked with bringing history to life by portraying influential African American figures through research, storytelling, and performance.
These kids worked hard to put on some amazing presentations!
This week, my staff joined Secretary Redding at Central Dauphin Middle School to promote PA's thriving beef industry.
Students taste-tested a variety of burgers to choose which will appear on upcoming lunch menus.
Week 3, day 3 of @PA_HouseApprops hearings centers around higher education. We’ll hear today from PA State Related Universities (PSU, Pitt, Temple, and Lincoln) as well as community colleges and PASSHE schools (Millersville, IUP, West Chester) and others.
We’ve seen firsthand the difference recreation dollars can make around the district. I asked the leaders of DCNR what could be done if we made more investment in grants and programs to improve neighborhoods across the Commonwealth.
I’m sure not everybody watches the U.S. Supreme Court as much as I do. So, during our #PABudget hearings I wanted to get clarity on the difference in how our courts in the Commonwealth handle the decisions they hand down.
This is an issue that’s near and dear to my heart. I spoke with @PAHumanServices about the $25 million in childcare worker grants that was passed in last year's #PaBudget. I also asked about the demand of these grants and how many workers have received their grant payment.
I spoke with @PAHumanServices about centers for independent living and their mission of assisting individuals living with disabilities. The end goal — improving their quality of life to ultimately live independently. #PABudget
Today @PA_HouseApprops hears from @PAStateDept which works with counties to carry out elections, issues licenses for businesses and non-profits, and professional licensure. We’ll also speak to the @PA_PUC which regulates electricity, gas, and water utilities throughout the state.
Today @PA_HouseApprops speaks with @PAHumanServices which is an important agency that provides funding to care for our most vulnerable populations. They are the only department we’re meeting with today, so we’ll get a lot of information on their operations. #pabudget
