A new approach to funding Pennsylvania public schools starts with eliminating school property taxes. Join me to learn how my School Property Tax Elimination Act would replace school property taxes with a fairer, more sustainable funding model that gives Pennsylvanians greater control over their tax burden.
Bring your questions and join the conversation. See the link in my bio for details about my bill.

Thank you to @mechanicsburglearningcenter for inviting me to be part of your @america250 summer camp at Northern Elementary!
I enjoyed spending time with the students, talking about what a typical day as a state senator looks like, what inspired me to serve our community and answering their thoughtful questions. It was great to see their curiosity and enthusiasm as they learned more about state government and civic engagement.

It was an honor to attend the banquet for the 103rd annual @pasheriffs Association Summer Training Conference in Camp Hill.

Thank you to these brave men and women โ and their families โ for your unwavering service and sacrifice. I will continue to support those who serve and protect Pennsylvanians every day.
Today, I had the honor of attending the 73rd Commemoration Anniversary of the Korean War Armistice at Shiloh American Legion 791 Home Association in Dover.
