🇺🇸 Happy Pennsylvania Day! ❤️🤍💙
Did you know the 31st Senatorial District has played a role in some of PA’s most important moments?
During the Revolutionary War, Cumberland County helped supply the Continental Army by producing weapons and ammunition. Years later, York County made history as the nation’s first capital under the Articles of Confederation.
Today, our farmers, manufacturers, small businesses and families continue to strengthen the commonwealth.
