It was great catching up with board members of @adamselectriccooperative during PA Rural Electric’s annual reception. Adams Electric is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving 35,000 members in south-central Pennsylvania, including some in the 31st Senatorial District. Thank you for doing your part to keep the lights on!
I was pleased to participate in a legislative luncheon hosted by the @yceapa focused on issues impacting quality of life in York County.
The discussion highlighted housing, transportation, recreation, child care, infrastructure and key legislative priorities in Harrisburg, along with thoughtful questions and engagement from attendees about York County’s future.
Thank you to everyone who joined @reptomjones, @repwendyfink & I for our School Property Tax Elimination Town Hall. We had a strong turnout and constituents came ready with thoughtful questions that sparked meaningful conversations about the future of education funding in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to everyone who showed up, participated and made their voices heard.
📣 Beating the Odds Center Dedication
Proud to join the dedication ceremony for Beating the Odds, a new recovery and veteran services center, making a real difference in our community. In just the last two months, more than 1,300 people have walked through their doors — a clear sign of how great the need is.
The center offers a free clothing closet, comfort groups, support services and a safe place for anyone seeking stability or connection. Even in its first few months, the outpouring of community support has been incredible.
Grateful for the work being done here and the hope it brings to so many.
If you’re frustrated with rising school property taxes join @reptomjones, @repwendyfink and I for a School Property Tax Elimination Town Hall on Wednesday, May 27, from 6–8 p.m. at Elizabethtown High School, 600 E. High St., Elizabethtown.

Over the past several days, my staff and I joined our community at several Memorial Day events honoring those who gave their lives in service to our nation.
🇺🇸 @mtolivetcemetery held their annual salute to over 500 veterans resting in peace and placed flags at individual gravesites in recognition of their service and sacrifice.
🇺🇸 The P.W. Milano Detachment of the The Marine Corps League held their annual ceremony to honor the fallen by floating a wreath down the Susquehanna River while rendering honors with a rifle salute and Taps.
🇺🇸 A Four Chaplains/Charles W. David Jr. Memorial dedication was held at the Veterans Memorial Gold Star Healing and Peace Garden. This memorial was the first to include the story of Charles Walter David, Jr., honoring his courage and sacrifice alongside the Four Chaplains.
Each event was a powerful reminder of the sacrifice behind our freedoms and the importance of remembering those who gave all.
