POLICY HEARINGS RESUME

I chair the House Majority Policy Committee, traveling the state to host hearings and roundtable discussions with experts and advocates looking for change. This week's hearing topics included new legislation to combat animal fighting, and to better fund those who go after animal abusers. We also explored how to finally remove lead from drinking water in public schools, and solutions to the childcare crisis in PA. Next week we're exploring ways to stop wage theft, and how to help more people get into a home or apartment they can afford. You can watch them all here: PaHouse.com/Policy

 

 

INVESTING IN ERIE: IT'S STATE BUDGET SEASON

February has a lot of competitions stopping or starting - football ends, NASCAR starts, pitchers and catchers report for Spring training. My biggest competition also starts in February: state budget season.
 
After Governor Shapiro delivers his budget address, it's up to the legislature to figure out how we're going to do the most good with the resources we have. For me it's also jockeying to get Erie County what it needs to succeed. Revitalizing communities, supporting local businesses, helping people afford a home, or land a better job, making their schools better - this is why I'm here. And I'm here to win.

SAFEGUARDING OUR SCHOOLS

When private for-profit schools and their dark money backers came after Fairview and Millcreek School Districts to siphon off taxpayer dollars to make a profit off taxpayers. I stopped them. We need to protect our high-performing schools!

My team and I deliver for local people & projects. We cut the red tape in Harrisburg to secure the support our region needs.

  • When our schools need funding ...
  • When our police officers need a new vehicle to preserve lives ...
  • When our firefighters need funds for life-saving equipment ... 

We delivered to the tune of more than $92 million during the 2023-24 legislative session.
