My bill, the REINS Act, brings much-needed transparency and discipline to the rulemaking process. This legislation will:
✅ Requires formal cost analysis for any regulation with a $1M+ annual impact
✅ Mandates a vote by the General Assembly before such rules take effect
✅ Empowers elected lawmakers, not unelected bureaucrats, to make the final call
This is the first step toward restoring legislative oversight and protecting taxpayers from burdensome, expensive regulations.
This bill is now with the PA House for consideration after passing in the Senate this spring.

From my family to yours,

The 2025-26 #PAbudget is a reckless plan that pushes Pennsylvania toward a fiscal cliff. Treasurer Stacy Garrity and the IFO have already sounded the alarm. Without real reforms, taxpayers will face new and higher taxes.
Pennsylvanians deserve better.

🏠 Pennsylvania families are struggling to find affordable housing and the 2025-26 #PAbudget isn’t helping.
Creating a housing tax credit will just add more government spending, drive inflation higher and make homes even less affordable. We need real solutions, not short-term fixes that hurt families.
