I had the pleasure of speaking at the @pa_manufacturers_association in partnership with Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry at their Monthly Business Briefing. It was a great opportunity to share insights from this year’s budget hearings and what they mean for Pennsylvania’s economy and business community. ...

This week, I had the honor of recognizing the Spring Ford Area High School Girls Volleyball Team, 2025 PIAA Class 4A State Champions!

Not only did they defeat Pine-Richland in November to claim the title, but they also completed an undefeated season, a remarkable achievement!

Congratulations to Coach George Fuller, the athletes, and their families for their hard work, dedication, and extraordinary season. 🏐✨

It was great to join the @tricountyaac for the open house of their new Social Services Annex, made possible through a grant I was proud to help secure.

This newly renovated space will allow them to expand for services, programming, and a much-needed emergency food pantry. These improvements will help expand services and improve the lives of the more than 200 older adults who visit the center each day.

Proud to support efforts that strengthen our community and care for our seniors.

I recently visited Douglass Township-Berks County to see the work they’ve been doing to combat invasive insect species and remove dead and diseased trees that are affected by them. This effort was supported by grant funding I helped secure in last year’s budget. If you drive through the area, you’ll notice many trees that had to be taken down to prevent further environmental damage.

As we enter Spring, be sure to keep an eye out for #invasivespecies like Spotted Lanternflies and Ash Borer Beetles. You can notify the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture if your community is impacted. Interestingly, Spotted Lanternflies were first detected in the United States right here in Berks County back in 2014, which only highlights the importance of this project! ...

Recently, I stopped by Colebrookdale Township to check out several stormwater improvements made possible through grant funding I helped secure in last year’s budget. These projects may not be flashy, but as a state legislator, I consider stormwater upgrades some of the most important investments we can make.

They help prevent property damage, reduce the risk of flash flooding, and keep our residents safe during heavy storms. Improvements like these also bring indirect benefits to communities downstream. I’m proud to advocate for projects like these across the 24th Senate District! ...

This week, I met with Hereford Township Supervisor Karla Dexter to see the site of major streambank restoration project the Township is working on. The project involves critical waterway / roadway improvements along Camp Mensch Mill Road and is funded by grant dollars I helped secure in last year’s budget.

I was shocked to see the extent of the damage that’s come as a result of several major storm events in recent years. These images are a powerful reminder of the dangers unmanaged stormwater can pose, and how important these projects are for our communities. ...

This week, I had the opportunity to tour Aurelius and learn more about their Veteran Treatment Center and Hyperbaric Chamber.

It was great to see firsthand how innovative therapies like hyperbaric treatment are supporting our veterans, particularly those dealing with service-related injuries.

Expanding access to cutting-edge care for those who have served our country is critically important, and I appreciate the continued efforts to provide these services for veterans across Pennsylvania. ...
