Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 12/02/2026First, the hearing at Univ. of Scranton on threats to hospitals. As Delco residents, we’re already familiar with the healthcare crisis (rising costs, understaffing, private equity ownership, etc.) and how it’s resulting in community hospital closures. But not every region has been impacted yet... 100

Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 12/02/2026I’m back in the district after a couple days in Scranton for two @padempolicy.bsky.social hearings and am eager to update you on those discussions about workforce development and about how the state can support struggling community hospitals to prevent more from closing. 🧵 100

Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 20/11/2025After losing 2 hospitals this past spring, our community has been living with real worry about access to healthcare, especially in emergencies. This funding won’t solve every challenge, but it *will* give these hospitals a little breathing room as they work to meet demand. 010
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 07/11/2025After I sent my e-newsletter out, I learned good news re: SNAP: Gov.

Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 25/08/2025Have Senate leaders forgotten they’re here to serve the public? Why else would they deal such an easily avoidable blow to taxpayers, to our economy? Philly + SEPA is PA’s economic engine -- they chose to hamstring the service that keeps that engine running! pahouse.com/borowski/septa-action-center 010

Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 14/08/2025It's Aug. 14, the legislature's deadline for saving #SEPTA from service cuts - but Senate leaders let everyone down, including our rural neighbors. And I have plenty to say on the matter: tinyurl.com/3jf4hbj4 000
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 13/08/2025A neighbor w/ a disability asked why Senate leaders want to fund private school vouchers for the few but won’t fund mass transit like #SEPTA, used by up to 40K riders w/ disabilities daily. Public transit = freedom. We can't let lawmakers take it away. 050
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 11/08/2025The House just voted yet *again,* after working thru the weekend, to give the Senate a new chance to fund public transit, roads, & bridges. We even added the audit rules for #SEPTA some GOP senators want. Folks across PA are wondering why their senators won’t return to the table. 030
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Working thru the weekend to protect your access to hospitals, nursing homes & transit—but for now, a #FeelGoodFriday: Grateful to the PA Assoc. of Township Supervisors for highlighting the effort by Newtown Twp Supervisor Leonard Altieri & me to enhance autonomy of townships like those in the 168th! 010

Get the latest updates on both, and learn what you can do to help get the Senate moving: pahouse.com/borowski/InT... 030
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Senator Picozzi represents daily commuters & says he stands for kids, transit, & jobs. So why is he signaling he’s ready to let SEPTA cuts happen and put families’ livelihoods on the line? Render people with disabilities unable to get to work? Call him today at 215-281-2539 and ask! 042
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 29/07/202542 days since the House passed HB1364 to fund SEPTA, roads & bridges—but the Senate still hasn’t acted. Instead, some senators proposed a “plan” that blames #SEPTA & adds red tape. Pennsylvanians need real transit funding now. share.inquirer.com/2NsNjf 011
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 26/07/2025PA's public transit authorities face financial struggles that will lead to drastic service cuts if our transportation funding bill (H.B. 1364) remains untouched by the Senate. SEPTA cuts would begin August 24th! Act now via my SEPTA Action Center: www.RepBorowski.com #septa #savesepta 011

Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 09/07/2025SEPTA service cuts begin on August 24 if our public transit funding bill remains untouched by the Senate! Your stories show how catastrophic this would be to our way of life & PA's entire economy! 👉 Read more stories via the 🔹SEPTA Action Center🔹 at the top of my website: www.RepBorowski.com 010
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 07/07/2025SEPTA service cuts start in August if the public transit funding bill the House passed doesn't make it to Gov. Shapiro's desk. The Senate *could* be considering H.B. 1364 this week, but has chosen not to -- the chamber doesn't have a single session day scheduled this week! 020
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 02/07/2025SEPTA gets us where we need to go, including school! You can read more stories from students and people from all walks of life who rely on SEPTA on my website: www.pahouse.com/borowski/read-septa-stories 020
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 30/06/2025The common thread through all the SEPTA stories people continue to submit is, "I couldn't have done it without SEPTA!" You can help us put pressure on the Senate to adequately fund SEPTA (and PA's other transit agencies) -- sign our petition: pahouse.com/borowski/Form/?id=1746 020
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 27/06/2025What an honor to serve as Speaker pro tempore during Wednesday’s PA House session! I may have only had the gavel for a short time, but the spirit of the 168th ran the show. Grateful for the opportunity from Speaker @repmcclinton.com —and for colleagues who (mostly) behaved 😜 #DelcointheHouse 040
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 26/06/2025🚨 The SEPTA Board votes today at 3 p.m. on a budget with massive cuts to regional rail & bus service that would start in August. The PA Senate can still stop this—if they act on the transit funding bill the House passed over a week ago! #FundSEPTA #SaveSEPTA 020
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Seeing every single one of our House colleagues vote YES on our bill to help prevent SUDEP in epilepsy patients was a heartfelt victory for me and Rep. Ann Flood, co-prime sponsor of HB 1442. More info: pahouse.com/borowski/InT... 010
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 24/06/2025We’re taking on the tough issues this state budget season – education included! 💪Yesterday, the House passed Rep. Gina Curry and my (& Rep.

Below are a few excerpts from his letter, which you may read in its entirety on my website: tinyurl.com/dya44vz5 010
Rep. Lisa Borowski @repborowski.bsky.social · 17/06/2025We just voted in the PA House to approve the bill that would fund mass public transit around Pennsylvania *without* raising taxes -- including the support SEPTA needs to avoid service cuts! Stories like Miranda's help illustrate why we must act now to #savesepta! 010
