Proud we passed the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act to approve additional funding to improve research, testing, and treatment of tickborne illness.

This funding will supplement the work to fight the spread of Lyme Disease, including at the URI Center for Vector-Borne Disease.

A federal bill aimed at strengthening the fight against Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses has cleared Congress and is headed to the president’s desk, following a years-long effort by Sen. Susan Collins. https://t.co/B10h8eFajI

Leaves are starting to fall in New Hampshire, but tick season isn’t over yet. Our state has one of the highest rates of Lyme disease in the U.S.

I’m glad to see that our bipartisan bill to help states research and fight tick-borne diseases passed Congress and is on its way to becoming law.

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

With Maine continuing to experience record levels of Lyme disease, we must work to address the growing threat posed by tick-borne illnesses.

After passing the House last night by voice vote, my bipartisan Tick Act now heads to the president’s desk to become law. https://t.co/Yem0AJLGeD

[Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed]

To combat the spread of ticks & help families protect themselves from tick-borne illnesses, Congress passed the Kay Hagan Tick Act. This bipartisan will boost research & improve prevention strategies. I urge Pres Trump to sign it.

[Luke H. @LukeLDSociety]

Wonderful, thanks very much to @SenatorCollins for her tremendous leadership, with @SenTinaSmith, in passage of this excellent bipartisan legislation, S. 2398, Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act!! This is phenomenal and exciting news!! ✨️

[Sen. Susan Collins @SenatorCollins]

GREAT NEWS: After last month’s unanimous Senate passage of my bipartisan Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act, the House of Representatives passed the bill unanimously today, sending it to the president’s desk for his signature.

Maine reported a record 4,257 cases of Lyme disease last year, underscoring the urgent need to continue our work to combat tick-borne illnesses.

These diseases can take a serious physical and emotional toll on patients and their families, and they can also be costly. That is why Senator Tina Smith and I authored the original Tick Act in 2019. By reauthorizing these efforts, we can help improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of tick-borne diseases so that more Mainers can get the care they need sooner.

Tick season is getting worse each year, and with it, tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease.

Congress just took action to address this threat by passing the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act, legislation I co-led in the House that funds research & protects public health against tick-borne diseases.

[Energy and Commerce Committee @HouseCommerce]

✅ The Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act is headed to @POTUS' desk

The House just passed the Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act, extending funding through 2030 to combat Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses across America.

[ABC4 News @abc4utah]

Ticks have been known to carry bacteria capable of causing illnesses like Lyme disease and a condition that can leave you allergic to red meat. Now, researchers have found a new tick-borne virus linked to an invasive species that has been spreading in the U.S.

Shana Tova to our Jewish friends and neighbors across Pennsylvania!

Dina and I wish you and your families a sweet New Year filled with peace, health, happiness, and hope.

May this season bring peace, health and blessings to you and your loved ones.

Shanah tovah u'metukah!

Don’t wait til later—after being outdoors, check your entire body for ticks right away! A hand-held or full-length mirror can help you see those harder‑to‑reach spots. Be sure to look closely at:
• Under your arms
• In and around your ears
• Inside your belly button
• Behind your knees
• In and around your hair
• Between your legs
• Around your waist

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

Here in Pennsylvania, we carry a special responsibility to remember 9/11.

And our remembrance must be active — we must continue to honor the memory of those killed on that tragic day. To tell the story of Flight 93 again and again, for every generation born after, and to honor the ordinary Americans whose extraordinary acts of bravery we carry with us still today.

To honor the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, I joined the loved ones of heroes aboard Flight 93 in Shanksville to unveil the final sign on the Pennsylvania portion of the 9/11 National Memorial Trail — connecting the sites in New York City, Virginia, and Shanksville. Spanning 1,500 miles, this trail provides people with another way of remembering that day, the people who died, and the American spirit they inspired.

I’m grateful to the leaders at @911trail, DCNR Secretary Dunn, and PennDOT Secretary Carroll for coming together to make this happen — and may the memories of the victims forever be a blessing.
