“Every member of the PA Senate Democratic caucus can tell you that affordability is the top concern for their constituents, whether they represent Philadelphia, or the Lehigh Valley, or Lancaster, or Harrisburg, or Pittsburgh.

It is long past time to deliver safe, strong communities in Pennsylvania.

We deserve neighborhoods free from gun violence, where families don't have to worry about unsecured guns wreaking havoc around them.

@SenHughesOffice & @SenSharifStreet spoke at a #GunViolence this week.

Happy National Cheese Day! A while back, I had a chance to visit the Cheese Queen in the 43rd and learn about the art of charcuterie. Where is your favorite cheese destination in Pittsburgh?

The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25-an-hour - which is lower than every other surrounding state.

Republicans in Harrisburg continue to block our legislation so that Pennsylvanians can earn a livable wage.

We’ve increased funding for K-12 education by nearly $3 BILLION — that includes making free breakfast available for every single Pennsylvania public school student.

I’m damn proud of all of the bipartisan, commonsense investments we’ve made for our kids. And we’re going to keep at it.

[Senator Jay Costa @Senatorcosta]

In the midst of an affordability crisis, Trump and his heartless enablers are ripping food and medical care from Pennsylvania’s families. This is unconscionable, and Senate Republicans have sat by and watched this happen. https://t.co/6oPJnICM9u

Senate Democrats are loud and clear: it's time to #RaisetheWage! Share your story about how higher pay would make life more affordable for you at https://t.co/JtEddJT5qy

[Senator Jay Costa @Senatorcosta]

Instead of supporting jobs, businesses, and families, Trump has created an affordability crisis for no reason. Senate Democrats are fighting for a budget that puts money back in the pockets of Pennsylvanians. https://t.co/kiJIDN4y6k

It was a solemn honor to be a part of Memorial Day Services this morning on the Southside, in Forest Hill and Greenfield. As we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country, I am grateful to play a small part in keeping their memories alive.

[Senator Jay Costa @Senatorcosta]

Today we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Happy Memorial Day everyone! My offices are closed today and will reopen for standard hours tomorrow.
