Great meeting today with my friend and our Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele, and members of the PA District Attorneys Association, during National District Attorneys Association Prosecutor Advocacy Conference here in our nation’s Capitol.
We had critical discussions on how Congress can better support law enforcement and prosecutors’ offices—ensuring they the resources and support they need to uphold justice, protect victims, and keep our community safe.
Thank you to DA Steele and all our law enforcement officers for your service and dedication to protecting and safeguarding our PA-1 community. I look forward to continuing working alongside you, and will always have the backs of our law enforcement heroes.
