I’m thrilled to see Bethlehem’s first Fitness Park come to life! Providing safe, accessible places for children to play, stay active, and build friendships is an investment in their development and in the future of our community. 🔗 https://t.co/GbgPv7nW8k

Today, I took to the Senate floor to demand action on SB 400—my legislation to give Independent voters a voice in Pennsylvania’s primary elections.

I’ve fought for this for 25 years.

Independents deserve a voice and a choice. It’s time to let them vote. Let’s get SB 400 done!

🧬 2 bills I sponsored to expand access to genetic testing passed the PA Senate & now head to the House.

PA is the only state where licensed genetic counselors are explicitly prohibited from ordering genetic tests.

⛽️Pennsylvanians are paying too much at the pump—and we should do something about it. 💸We can’t control the price of gasoline, but we can control the tax we put on it.

Pennsylvanians are feeling the impact of rising gas and diesel prices, and I’m continuing to push for relief.

Through my legislation, I am calling for a temporary suspension of PA’s gasoline and diesel taxes to help consumers and businesses manage rising fuel costs.
