I had a great time meeting students from @cpactc during @techlinkpa`s Advocacy Day.
I appreciated hearing about their career programs and experiences. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support career and technical education and the students preparing for these in-demand careers.
More than 4,000 items from the @PennsylvaniaTreasury Department’s vault are being auctioned this week! The lineup includes jewelry, gold coins, silver wine cups and much more. @patreasury top priority is always to return the items to the rightful owners, but items that have been in the vault for 3+ years are occasionally auctioned to make room for new arrivals. Find more details, including how to place bids by visiting the link in my bio.
It was great to celebrate the groundbreaking of @chipotle at Shephardstown Crossing in Mechanicsburg. This investment means new jobs, increased economic activity and more dining options for residents. Looking forward to the positive impact it will bring to our area.
Please join me in welcoming Nicholas Shields as our new District Office Director in Dillsburg!
Nicholas is a U.S. Army veteran with strong experience in public service, leadership, and community engagement. He`ll be overseeing daily operations in the district office, supporting constituents, and working closely with residents, businesses, and community organizations across the district.
We`re excited to have him on board. If you stop by the office or see him out in the community, make sure to say hello!
I joined @senatorrothman at the @greaterharrisburgrealtors Legislative Breakfast for a panel discussion on housing affordability and real solutions to address and improve the market.
It was a pleasure to host members of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) for a luncheon during their legislative conference as chair of the Senate Local Government Committee.
After the luncheon, members joined me in the Senate chamber, where I had the opportunity to introduce them as my guests during session.
Thank you to CCAP for your work at the county level that is critical to delivering essential services and strengthening our communities!
I kicked off Agriculture Literacy Week with students at @despolarbears as a guest reader with the @pafarmbureau and @gifford_pinchot_ffa!
We shared this year’s featured book, Cows Can Moo! Can You? All About Farms by Dr. Seuss. It was a fun way to teach kids about Pennsylvania agriculture and celebrate the commonwealth’s number one industry. 🐄🎉
