Voting must be free from intimidation, including from our own federal government. I spoke with Roxborough’s own Al Schmidt about Pennsylvania’s safeguards. I’ll work to ensure every option is on the table to protect voters. youtube.com/shorts/s_Bv8...
At budget hearings, I spoke with Secretary Redding about my bill with Rep Takac to increase Ag Innovation Grants. These investments help PA farmers stay on their farms and keep our ag economy strong. 🌾
I asked Secretary Siger about our bills to lower housing costs, including for first time homebuyers. Increasing housing supply is basic economic common sense.
Year of the Horse. Time to move and bring a little extra hustle!
We’ve got work to do in Harrisburg. Funding our schools. Keeping transit running. Raising the minimum wage so people can get ahead.
Wishing you health, prosperity, and joy in the year ahead. Happy Lunar New Year!
Remembering the life of Reverend Jesse Jackson.
He marched with Dr. King, built the Rainbow Coalition, and ran for president to expand who had a voice in this country. He challenged America to live up to its promise of fairness and dignity for all.
That work is not finished. Rest in power, Rev.
Here at City Hall this morning because this is a city, commonwealth, and country of laws, not unchecked force. ICE and DHS must answer to the Constitution, to due process, and to the people.
At this week’s policy hearing, a school administrator was blunt: Washington’s cuts are leaving our kids with fewer resources and fewer opportunities.
Slashing supports for our kids to bankroll tax cuts for the wealthy is unacceptable.
I won’t stop fighting to protect our kids.
Police are asking anyone with information about the person who spray painted Roxborough High School with racist and antisemitic graffiti to contact the Philadelphia Police Department’s Northwest Detective Division at 215-686-3353 or 215-686-3354, or call 215-686-TIPS (8477) with tips.
Over the last three years, PA House Democrats cut taxes for working families and small businesses.
We tripled the Child Care Tax Credit and raised the property tax and rent rebate.
Common sense. Fairness. And some breathing room for families.
PA House Democrats passed one of the strongest anti-poverty measures in years — the Working PA Tax Credit sends dollars straight to working families.
Online and sports gambling companies profit most from problem gambling. That’s why I led a first-of-its-kind study to figure out how we protect Pennsylvanians and put real safeguards in place.
Making sure families have enough to eat isn’t charity. It’s part of our shared belief that all people are created equal and deserve a fair shot at a good holiday. 🦃💙
With the support of Peace Islands, Share Food Program, NewCourtland, and my staff and incredible volunteers, we got 90 turkeys out to neighbors today!
Grateful to share a prayer in the House inspired by our veterans, our teachers, nurses, laborers, and the Sisters of Saint Joseph — who remind us that service and humility still unite us. 🕊️!
Our work in Harrisburg isn’t just about numbers — it’s about uplifting people and our shared by values..
The same values at the heart of our nation’s founding: Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

If Washington Republicans won’t act to feed our families, Pennsylvania Democrats will. My bill with Senator Vincent Hughes & Senator Art Haywood funds Meals on Wheels & food banks statewide — helping millions of Pennsylvanians about to lose SNAP benefits. #GovernmentShutdown #SNAP @pahousedems.com
We remember the eleven worshippers whose lives were stolen at the Tree of Life Synagogue in 2018 — sons, daughters, friends, and neighbors taken by hate.
Today and always, we stand with our Jewish community against antisemitism and every form of violence and bigotry.

#PhillyArt #WoodmereMuseum #MaguireHall #Philadelphia
This Saturday at 3pm I’ll help cut the ribbon on the brand-new Frances M. Maguire Hall at Woodmere Museum — a stunning new space celebrating Philly’s incredible art and artists!
We’re working together to make it easier to build, hire, and succeed right here at home in Pennsylvania.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community — and today, I joined Senator Hughes, Rep. Parker, Rep. Carroll, and the PA Chamber to hear directly from local business owners about what they need to grow and thrive.
For nearly four centuries, the Sisters have dedicated their lives to educating, healing, and lifting up others — a legacy that continues to strengthen and inspire our community every day.
Honored to present a Pennsylvania House citation to Sister Michelle and the Sisters of Saint Joseph at Chestnut Hill College — celebrating an incredible 375 years of faith, compassion, and service in action.
UPDATE: HB1701 passed the House yesterday and now moves to the PA Senate!
No child should have to learn in a classroom with mold, lead, or unsafe air. Proud to work with Reps Fielder, Powell & Probst on HB 1701 which helps us fix our schools and give every student a safe place to learn.
As a nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible work pediatric nurses do. Their skill and compassion are the backbone of children’s healthcare — and families count on them every day. 👩⚕️👨⚕️
Wishing all who observe a meaningful fast and reflection.

Politics should never trump science. At Rep. Abigail Salisbury’s policy hearing, I spoke with experts about the Trump administration’s false Tylenol–autism claims. These kinds of myths don’t just mislead — they endanger the lives of women and their families.
