My office will be closed today in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. I hope the community uses the day to gather, to celebrate freedom, and to acknowledge the work we still have to do to protect civil rights. Regular office hours will resume on Monday, June 22.

Yesterday, I was joined by legislators, school administrators and student-athletes from across the Commonwealth in support of my House Bill 41! I appreciate everyone for making the trip to speak up for fairness in youth athletics.

My House Bill 37 advanced through the House today! This bill would be a huge step forward in upholding public trust in the Commonwealth's elections, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to take up this important conversation.

My legislation to improve housing affordability across the Commonwealth advanced through the House today! House Bill 2391 would deter the practice of buying houses to fix and sell at a quick profit, also known as "house flipping." I urge the Senate to consider this legislation.

PIAA playoffs pit public school athletes against larger, stronger private school teams that are not bound by the same recruiting rules. The House passed my bill to end the unfair system & allow PIAA to create separate playoffs for public & private schools.

House flipping by investors drives up home prices and depletes the supply for ordinary consumers. Today, the House Commerce Committee advanced my bill that would discourage that practice.

Many men today play a central or sole role in child care, yet most public men’s rooms lack baby diaper changing stations. Today, the House passed my bill that would address the issue by requiring diaper stations in new & totally renovated public restrooms.
