It was great to attend the America 250 Cultural Fair in @yorkcountypa , celebrating our rich history and the @america250 Bell Dedication.
I enjoyed seeing โThe Energy of York Countyโ by local artist Chelsea Foster. The piece highlights Yorkโs history, from its first electric generating station in 1885 to the History Center today.
It was great to see our community come together to celebrate Yorkโs history and Americaโs past, present and future! ๐บ๐ธ

Skills can open the door to a career, a paycheck and a future.
I enjoyed visiting @empirebeautyschools in York and seeing how students are gaining hands-on skills and the support they need to succeed.
Thatโs why I introduced Senate Bill 892 โ to remove unnecessary government barriers and make it easier for skilled professionals to enter the workforce.

The House Local Government Committee passed my Senate Bill 1287, which clarifies that proof of an adequate water supply must be provided ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ of a subdivision or land development.
The requirement for water service already exists in state law. My bill simply makes clear ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐โ before the final approval is granted.
This closes a procedural gap and helps ensure water infrastructure is secured before new development moves forward. The bill now heads to the full House for consideration.
Today, on National Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Day, I honor the brave service members who faced danger far from home and defended our nation with courage and commitment.
To every VFW member and veteran: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice and your continued dedication to our communities. We are grateful for you today and every day.
Today, I had the honor of introducing Lennon โLennyโ Therkildsen from the floor of the Pennsylvania Senate. ๐
Lenny, a brave 9-year-old, has battled Hodgkin Lymphoma through 5 rounds of chemotherapy and 14 rounds of radiation while continuing to find reasons to smile. With the support of her family and @fourdiamonds, she is now back in school, playing sports and doing what she loves๐
It was an honor to welcome Lenny and her family to the Capitol and celebrate her incredible journey. ๐ I wish Lenny a long, healthy, and happy life filled with many more memories, smiles and adventures.
#CCAM #ChildhoodCancer #ForTheKids
More than 6,000 people from across Pennsylvania gathered outside the state Capitol for the largest March for Life Rally in Harrisburg to date. I was glad to stand alongside so many Pennsylvanians who came together to support the unborn and advocate for mothers, children and families.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the rally and continues to stand for life.
#MarchForLife #WhyWeMarch
A win for Pennsylvanians today! This is what happens when we speak up and stand together.
