Today is Girls and Women in Sports Day, a reminder of how far womenโs athletics have come and why fairness in competition must be protected. Every girl deserves the opportunity to compete, succeed and thrive on a level playing field. Thatโs why I co-sponsored the Save Womenโs Sports Act, Senate Bill 9, to stand up for female athletes and defend Title IX.
Watch my interview with advocate Paula Scanlan to see whatโs at stake.
Since taking office, every Gov. Shapiro budget has proposed spending far beyond state revenues โ and his 2026โ27 plan is no exception. Itโs Budget Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania: unchecked spending, ballooning deficits and no plan to live within our means. This fiscally tone-deaf proposal ignores economic realities as our state grows older and smaller, setting taxpayers up for inflation and tax hikes. This budget belongs in hibernation.

Itโs Groundhog Day! ๐พ Tomorrow, Gov. Shapiro unveils his 2026-27 PA budget proposal. Will it finally live within PAโs means or are we staring down another $5B overspend and the same fiscal irresponsibility dรฉjร vu? ๐ฌ๐ธ
Hint: the budget shadow looks expensive.

PennDOT announced that utility pole replacement work is scheduled for next week on York Road (Route 74) in South Middleton Township, Cumberland County. The work limits are from Fairview Street to Connector Road in the township.
Weather permitting, this work will be performed from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM starting Monday, February 2, and continuing through the week, including Saturday and Sunday, if needed.
There will be lane closures under flagging on York Road. Travelers should be alert and drive with caution through the work zone.
Zero-based budgeting is the way forward. In the House, I was the prime sponsor and promptly co-sponsored this legislation in the Senate requiring every state agency to justify every dollar, starting at zero โ no automatic rollovers, no waste.
Pennsylvaniaโs 2025-26 budget spent nearly $5 billion more than the state collects in revenue โ it`s both reckless and irresponsible. Itโs time for Pennsylvania to get its fiscal house in order. I hope that during next weekโs 2026-27 budget address, Gov. Josh Shapiro puts hardworking Pennsylvanians first and considers the fallout of not having a fiscally responsible budget that respects taxpayers and avoids tax hikes.

๐จ Big news on fluoride! The @epagov is taking the next step in a gold-standard review of fluoride in drinking water to see how it affects our health โ especially children.
Thatโs why my Fluoride Choice Act is so important. The bill is grounded in recent scientific studies that raise concerns about the safety of fluoride in drinking water, and it gives Pennsylvanians the right to choose whether they want to use fluoride, putting families first.
See links in my bio for details.
