Dear Neighbor,

As the holiday season begins in earnest, our community has been abuzz with energy, generosity, and plenty of good cheer.

From our annual Holiday Open House to community celebrations across the district, it’s been a joy to celebrate with so many of you. This time of year reminds us how powerful it can be when neighbors come together, and I’m looking forward to more holiday festivities ahead.

Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to, and a glimpse of what my office has in store for you.

A Warm Welcome to the Holidays

Last week, my team and I welcomed you to our office for our annual Holiday Open House! We helped out neighbors with state services & got a special visit from Santa & Mrs. Claus. ????

Thanks to their help and the generosity of our neighbors, we collected our biggest haul yet of toy donations to benefit the Victim Services Center of Montgomery County and their clients. My staff also loves a little friendly competition, and they all brought their A-game to our cookie bake-off. You all sampled the entries and crowned our cookie champion! ????

Celebrations in Every Community

Tree Lightings, (L-R): Lansdale, Hatfield, Souderton

This past week, our communities lit up their trees and powered on their holiday spirit. It was my pleasure to join in some of these celebrations and see all the hard work and creativity that have gone into these holiday displays. As the weather gets colder and opportunities for us to connect with our neighbors grow less frequent, these are much-needed spaces for us to spread the spirit of the holidays. ??

Thank you to the folks who came out despite the cold and made these events so memorable, and to everyone who worked behind the scenes, stringing lights and decorating trees for everyone to enjoy—you are what makes the holidays special. ??

Souderton Parade

Over the weekend, my team and I showed off our hometown holiday spirit at Souderton’s Holiday Parade. ???? Thank you to everyone who helped us spread holiday cheer (and lots of candy) through the heart of historic Souderton—we can’t wait to see you again next year!

Delivering for our Neighbors—and Another Opportunity to Give Back

To celebrate Giving Tuesday, I recently dropped off donations from our food drive benefiting Manna on Main Street. Thanks to the generosity of all of you, we delivered over 300 pounds of food for our neighbors!

During the holiday season, there is an increased risk of food insecurity for many in our community, and donations like this help food providers meet these increased needs. If you’d like to learn how you can support Manna’s mission of ending hunger in the North Penn region, click here.

I’m proud to partner with Hedwig House this season for their Winter Donation Drive. As many of you have witnessed firsthand this week, the winter weather can be brutal. For many folks, though, this cold is not just an inconvenience, but a danger to health and abarrier to accessing the resources they need. Protection from the elements is a basic human need, and our support can help our neighbors face the colder months with dignity.

To help our neighbors through this season, my Lansdale office is accepting donations of the listed items Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Important State Benefits Update

Applications are now available for LIHEAP, the program that helps Pennsylvanians to heat their homes during the colder seasons. Eligible households can receive up to $1,000 towards their utility bill, depending on one’s income and heating type. You can apply online through COMPASS or get help applying at my office through the end of the season on April 10th, 2026.

We want to hear from YOU!

One of the most important elements of a strong, democratic government is accessibility. As your legislator, I rely on feedback from constituents like you to help me do my job effectively. And beyond that, connecting with you through this office helps us all build a more informed, connected, and engaged community.

For these reasons, I want to hear from you for my upcoming Q&A video series!

I invite you to ask me your burning questions about our community and our state government, or just tell us how we’re doing—all responses are appreciated. Questions can be submitted here, and I’m excited to see what you all have to say.

UPCOMING: Veterans Resource Fair

Veterans won’t want to miss my new Veterans Resource Fair, which will connect you with benefits and state services exclusively for those who served. Light lunch will be served at 11am; register HERE to reserve your spot.

We’re also seeking veterans organizations and veteran-owned businesses to add to our vendor list for this event—those interested in participating as a vendor can sign up here.
