Honored to give the welcome speech at the PA Military Veterans Band performance at West York Area Middle School!
This talented band of veterans delivered a fantastic concert to raise funds to accomplish their missions, celebrating service, inspiring our community, and supporting fellow veterans and community bands in need. Thank you to all our veterans for your dedication and sacrifice.
I toured @rhimagnesita, a refractories plant that mines a mineral found only in west York and uses it to manufacture extreme-heat bricks. These bricks line the vessels used in manufacturing processes that melt, bend, shape and refine materials at temperatures most of us can hardly imagine.
What we fabricate, manufacture, build and produce in York County is truly unmatched and this facility is yet another example of the strength and innovation of our local workforce.
The 2025‑26 #PAbudget delivers another devastating blow to school choice for the second year in a row. Public cyber charter students and their families are unfairly punished, while underperforming traditional schools receive more funding with no new accountability.
Families deserve real options. We must protect school choice and empower students to succeed.

PA families continue to struggle to put food on the table and keep the lights on while our government continues to dole out your tax dollars in excess.
Under the Shapiro Shell-Out budget, the Governor`s office scored an additional $3 million for social media to bring you even more of his cringe-worthy TikTok`s and Shapiro selfies. Pennsylvania deserves better. #StopTheWaste
Pennsylvania’s new $50.1 billion budget spends $6 billion more than it takes in — with no reforms, no accountability, and cuts to public cyber charters that set school choice back a decade.
Unchecked spending is driving inflation and hammering hardworking Pennsylvanians. It’s fiscal chaos.
