Thousands across our district will lose Medicaid and SNAP benefits, we’re losing clean energy tax credits to blow up the national debt. And what is the gain? Tax cuts to the ultra-rich.

I joined my fellow legislators yesterday to speak out against the Trump administrations so called “Big Beautiful Bill.” We made our stance clear, this big, UGLY bill will make substantial cuts to vital services that we cannot fill on the state level.

Contraceptives are not just for preventing pregnancy—they also help treat conditions like endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Basic preventative care should not be a luxury only available to some.
It is now up to the Senate to do the right thing and pass this bill!
Under the current presidential administration, we have seen policy proposals that threaten access to contraceptives available to women.
I proudly voted for H.B. 1140, which would require health insurers, Medicaid and CHIP to cover contraceptive drugs, devices and services. 1/2
Last week, the PA House passed a resolution congratulating the Philadelphia Eagles on their amazing Super Bowl victory! May 7, 2025, will now be known as “Philadelphia Eagles Day at the Capitol.”
