Great having Diane Granger and her family join us in the Capitol this week. The Grangers are active members of the East Greenville community, and it was a pleasure recognizing them during Session.

On Saturday, I stopped by the Telford Diving & Rescue Unit to congratulate them on securing $75,000 in funding that I secured to support their important work.
This funding will help them purchase new rescue equipment, including a utility truck, strengthening their ability to respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations.
Iโm grateful for the dedication of these volunteers who put themselves on the line every day to protect our community, and Iโm proud to have delivered this investment to ensure they have the resources they need to do their job safely and effectively.
Congratulations to the student-athletes who visited the Capitol this week to be recognized for winning state wrestling championships! ๐คผ๐
It was a pleasure to honor these talented wrestlers and celebrate the dedication, discipline, and countless hours of effort that contributed to their success. Their achievements reflect not only individual talent, but also the support of their coaches, teammates, families, and school communities.
Congratulations on an outstanding accomplishment, and best wishes for continued success in the future!

Learning to read is the foundation for success in school, the workforce, and life. That`s why I was proud to join the Pennsylvania Literacy Coalition to discuss the importance of implementing Act 47, which will bring evidence-based reading instruction, educator training, and universal K-3 literacy screening to schools across the Commonwealth.
Passing the law was an important first step, but successful implementation is what will make a difference for Pennsylvania students. By investing in literacy, we are investing in our children, our communities, and our future.

I was pleased to join Rep. Donna Scheuren to present state grant funding for several important community improvement projects in Lower Frederick and New Hanover townships.
Lower Frederick Township - received more than $158,000 in LSA funding to support the purchase of a new police vehicle, parking lot enhancements, township building renovations, and the installation of a new digital communication sign.
In New Hanover Township, a $100,000 Greenways, Trails, and Recreation grant will support the Moyer Road Meadows and Trail Improvement Project, helping enhance outdoor recreation opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
These investments will help strengthen public safety, improve local infrastructure, and enhance quality of life throughout our region.
On Monday, I was proud to present state grant funding with PA State Rep. Donna Scheuren for two important projects that will improve public safety and infrastructure in our community.
In Douglass Township (Montgomery County) more than $232,000 in Multimodal Transportation Fund support will help move forward the long-awaited replacement of the County Line Road bridge over Swamp Creek. After years of delays caused by rising costs, environmental concerns, and easement challenges, this project is finally advancing to address deteriorating conditions and ongoing safety concerns on the bridge.
I also joined Good Will Steam Fire Engine Company to announce more than $103,000 in LSA Statewide funding to purchase and install power-stretcher equipment in their ambulances. This equipment will help paramedics and EMTs safely load and transport patients while reducing physical strain on first responders.
Thank you to our local leaders, emergency personnel, and community partners for their continued commitment to keeping our residents safe!
