Where are the #PASenate Republicans?  We need them to get back to work so we can pass a #PABudget that works for you!

Working people can’t survive on $7.25. It's time to #RaiseTheWage in Pennsylvania because everyone deserves a living wage. The #PASenate must act now for the people of Pennsylvania.

Too many landlords are neglecting their responsibilities and putting residents and neighborhoods at risk. We're working with local and state partners to hold bad actors accountable and make sure properties are safe, clean, and habitable.

Words matter. When the Department of Human Services updated to its current name in 2014, many legal documents in the commonwealth didn't follow suit. My bill to modernize this outdated language passed the #PAHouse Insurance Committee this week and heads to the full House for consideration.
