Would you want your loved one in a healthcare facility that isn’t safely staffed? I wouldn’t either. Safe staffing saves lives. Thanks to Health Secretary Debra Bogen for highlighting why these standards matter.

Private equity shouldn’t be cashing in on our hospitals while families skip meals to afford care. Rep. Lisa Borowski and I introduced legislation (HB 1460) to rein it in.

Proud to bring $60,000 in state funding with Senator Hughes to the Schuylkill Center for ADA accessibility. A community treasure, we’re working to make it more accessible for all!

Workers shouldn’t be forced into political, religious, or union-busting meetings at work. And they shouldn’t face retaliation for saying no.

When a university suggests unionizing could hurt Penn State, that’s not neutral, and it’s not consistent with its commitment not to use resources to influence the vote. Penn State should take that and other union-busting language down and ensure the neutrality it committed to.

Over-incarceration clogs courts, wastes money, and doesn’t stop repeat crime. Diversion programs work because they focus on accountability and the root causes of crime. My resolution studies how to expand and improve diversion across PA and it just passed the Judiciary Committee!

When government power goes unchecked, it’s the people who pay the price. That’s why showing up matters, because silence allows harm to continue. #ice #accountability

RFK Jr. was in Harrisburg today. I spoke at the counter-rally with other health professionals and organized labor because health coverage, food security, vaccine access, and life-saving research are being weakened. When policies hurt patients, it’s time to speak up and change course.

Another killing this morning by federal agents in the peaceful city of Minneapolis, again in broad daylight. The President and his enablers have unleashed chaos, lawlessness, and violence in our communities in pursuit of a radical agenda to seize power and instill fear through state-sanctioned violence. 

We deserve safety, transparency, and answers — not continued escalations and more violence.

In the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, we have introduced several bills and resolutions to limit the abuse of federal power and the militarization of civil federal agencies unfolding in real time. We will resist any attempt to normalize the chaos and terror ignited by this administration.

Late last night, someone painted racist graffiti, including swastikas, at Roxborough High School. Let me be clear: targeting students in the middle of the night is cowardice, and it does not define us. Our community is bigger than a racist, and one who cannot even spell at that.

War requires Congress, even against ruthless dictators like Nicolás Maduro. This looks more like a power play over oil than a plan to keep Americans safe. We should be lowering costs at home, not creating crises abroad.

Washington’s big bill delivers cuts to taxes for multimillionaires by taking away healthcare from 300,000 Pennsylvania’s and SNAP from 140,000 residents. The law also explodes the national debt to pay for these massive tax cuts for billionaires by $3.3 trillion. .
