Today I voted in support of H.B. 2060, in order to better protect victims of domestic abuse. We’re sending a strong message that domestic violence will not be tolerated in the commonwealth!
Two PUC field meetings this morning in @AspinwallBoro (Brilliant Intersection and Crossing) and #etnaborough (Trail Extension and Access). Excited to see these two important and much needed projects moving forward in the district!
