I had a great time attending the #NationalNightOut celebrations in Lower Frederick Township and Pottstown earlier this week! Thank you to everyone who helped make these events a success and to our dedicated first responders for all they do to keep our communities safe.
I applaud the DEA`s decision to temporarily classify 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), a dangerous synthetic compound associated with kratom, as a Schedule I controlled substance.
This action is an important step toward protecting consumers, especially young people, from unregulated products that have been linked to serious health risks. I will continue working to advance commonsense protections in Pennsylvania through my legislation to ban synthetic kratom and keep these dangerous products off our shelves.

Tomorrow, Montgomery County Community College is hosting a blood drive to help combat the nation`s ongoing blood shortage. Just one donation can make a life-saving difference by helping ensure hospitals have the blood products they need when patients need them most.
