This time yesterday the polls and my campaign for State Senate officially came to a close. Although the results were not what we wanted, I could not have asked for more from my supporters, volunteers, and team. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thanks for the recommendation, @TheIntellNews and @CourierTimes!

To see yet another act of hateful gun violence in a place of worship is unacceptable and heartbreaking and I will continue my work to prevent these senseless acts.
My heart and prayers go out to the Squirrel Hill community, both those targeted simply for their religious beliefs and the brave law enforcement officers who answered the call of duty.
Sen. Lisa Baker, Chair of the Health & Human Services Committee, joined me at the PA Biotech Center. This world-class life sciences incubator provides a collaborative home to students, scientists, and companies performing cutting-edge research and advancing medical technologies.
For too long, dangerous individuals convicted of domestic abuse could access guns and terrorize victims. Thanks to newly passed legislation, abusers will soon be required to hand over firearms within 24 hours. #HB2060 is real progress for PA.
Very proud of the overwhelming, bipartisan support for my bill, which protects victims of domestic violence, that Gov. Wolf has said he is eager to sign! Good things happen when we work across the aisle. #HB2060#ProtectPAFamilies

#HB2060 marks important progress this #DVAM2018.
Too many families are torn apart by domestic violence and too many domestic abusers use firearms to kill victims and terrorize communities.
Proud to sign this bill into law when it gets to my desk and #ProtectPAFamilies.
Thanks to Stacks Co. for hosting @SenatorBrowne and me today!
Stacks provides small businesses, entrepreneurs and more space to work, network, and collaborate. It's important PA cultivates places like these so we can nurture talent and innovative start-ups that grow our economy.
It was my pleasure to have @SenatorBrowne, Senate Appropriations Chair, in the 10th SD today and introduce him to Marv Woodall and Brian Firth, MD of Thrombolex and Todd Richmond of Peregrine. Together they are leading the way on innovative pulmonary embolism treatment.

BREAKING - We did it. By bringing people together and focusing on commonsense solutions and consensus building #HB2060 passed the House today. We’re one step closer to offering greater protection to abuse victims. #ProtectPAFamilies
"Investing in education is investing in our future. I will continue to fight for the best educational opportunities for Bucks County students not only as your next senator but as a mother and a grandmother."

Seventeen years ago our lives changed forever. Today we honor the lives lost in the September 11th attacks and the bravery of those who sacrificed everything that day, and the years to follow.

On Women’s Equality Day we celebrate the passing of the 19th Amendment, which recognized women’s right to vote in our country. When elected, I’ll humbly take on the role as the first female Senator from Bucks. For the women before us and generations to come, #letsmakehistory.
Prayers to the McCain family. We all mourn the loss of a father, grandfather, husband, war hero, and maverick. Now we must strive to maintain his legacy of working to do what is right regardless of partisanship or party.
Great to see all the support for PA's #1 industry, Agriculture. Bucks has the largest 4H org in the state, with approx 9000 youth participants, about 500 of them participated in @GrangeFair684! We don’t all farm, but we all eat! Thx to our farmers for working to provide our food!
Working with state legislators, on both sides of the aisle, new laws have been passed such as allowing Pennsylvanians access to a standing prescription of Naloxone. (https://t.co/N57pafffLL) To seek help with an addiction, call 1-800-662-HELP.
With 757 overdoses reported in Bucks within the last 12 mos, communities are uniting to support friends, loved ones and families in their battle to overcome addiction. Saturday, I joined Morrisville United members in a march thru the borough ending w/ a rally @ Williamson Park
Following in the footsteps of community leaders like Morrisville United, working together we can make a difference and have. Since 2010 Bucks County has collected 107, 323 pounds of unused medication. Just in the last 3 years, our police have saved 588 lives from overdoses.
