“A leader’s lasting value is measured by succession” - John Maxwell
It’s been an honor & privilege to serve the good people of PA House District 28 these last four years. Wishing all the best to Representative-elect Jeremy Shaffer as he takes the baton of community leadership.
I was pleased to join Governor Shapiro and other elected officials and industry leaders yesterday at the first citywide AI summit. We have an exciting future ahead of us in Pittsburgh with the right technology and talent mix to propel robust growth of jobs and economy.
Also, importantly in state government, we are building the next level of security and regulation needed to help guide and protect the industry and most importantly, protect our citizens from the inherent risks of new technology. Here’s to what’s next in Pittsburgh!
“I'm in favor of U.S. Steel making a deal that will inject much-needed capital into the steel industry, grow our economy, keep union and non-union jobs in Pittsburgh, ensure the company remains headquartered in Pittsburgh, and benefits our region.”

Thank you @RepRobMercuri for working with me to help return the more than $26 million in unclaimed property that is owed to PA House District 28!
My office is working to return over $4.5 billion in unclaimed property across the state. See if any is yours: https://t.co/u8nERash6z
Today, Pine Richland Rams Ice Hockey joined me on the House Floor to recognize their tremendous State Championship and Penguins Cup victories! They represented their school and community well. Congratulations again boys!
Changes are needed to our higher education system and they must be structural, student focused and workforce driven.

The Shapiro energy plan, similar to the Biden energy plan, is a plan to limit opportunity and further government dependency for PA families. The energy economy in Western Pennsylvania should be booming but is being throttled by a climate agenda with no end game in sight.
I was honored to host the western PA All Service Academies Ball recently, an evening to recognize our young men and women as they serve our country at one of the five U.S Service academies. As a veteran, I am so grateful for their commitment to service! https://t.co/lWwtXdDnQG
Rep. Rob Mercuri: America’s largest full-time legislature should not be its least productive
As the new year begins, PA’s legislature needs to make a resolution for 2024: to earn a return on the investment of the taxpayers. https://t.co/AMT26iOrZ4
“The unlawful entrance into RGGI by the prior administration was a slap in the face to Pennsylvanians who continue to deal with rising energy prices and increasing inflation.”

🚫RGGI🚫
The Commonwealth Court's decision today confirmed what we've already known – the tax known as #RGGI is unconstitutional.

The advent of artificial intelligence has been momentous, and as a legislator thinking about the well-being and safety of our society, I have a deep desire and keen interest to find opportunities for us to put guardrails around the use of AI. https://t.co/6Xhj895HsV
And that’s a wrap on our POWERHOUSE legislative panel!
Thank you so much to @RepRobMercuri@SenRobinsonPA@peggy_grande and @JezreeFriend for participating and giving intellectual knowledge on efficient energy policy⚡️
Good morning Freedom Fighters!☀️
The #ProsperityisPossible RV will be stopping at both of these incredible events today!! Stop by and check out the RV and of course why #ProsperityisPossible😉
Unfinished business, indeed, Gov. Shapiro. Let’s work to truly provide every student in PA the opportunity to succeed in life by giving them and their parents real educational options. There’s still time this budget season!

Time to get back to work & honor commitments to students & families by passing a budget that funds govt ops, provides lifelines for students in failing schools, and reforms higher ed to be student focused, accountable & transparent. Let’s get to work, PA! https://t.co/PHi0d72XLS
Small biz & consumers suffer at the hands of PA’s outdated liquor monopoly. This tech outage & surprise fee increase are examples of how when the govt gets involved where it shouldn’t we suffer for its inefficiencies. Time for reforms #endtheliquormonopoly https://t.co/R63X6xA5Un
Everyone is focusing on what’s in Gov. Shapiro’s proposed #PAbudget, but what’s missing is even more important:
📢 The elimination of RGGI energy tax
📢 Lifeline scholarships to support students
📢 A sustainable outcome in future years
