It felt great celebrating two events in South Harrisburg last week! 🌳 First, i kicked things off with a tree planting alongside Secretary Dunn and Mayor Wanda Williams. Next, i joined a health fair and food giveaway sponsored by the PA Legislative Black Caucus.

The PA House passed a bipartisan budget that invests in schools, transit, and essential services. The Senate’s stripped-down plan underfunds our future. Pennsylvanians deserve more than short-term fixes.

The budget plan that House leadership is proposing right now would cut off MILLIONS of people from their health care so billionaires get another tax break. Working people don’t need another billionaire bailout. We should expand our essential services like Medicaid, not gut it.
