🚨 Senate Bill 1206 unanimously passed the #PASenate today!
My legislation will help bring new life-saving treatments and medical devices to market faster by allowing manufacturers to begin Pennsylvania’s licensing process while awaiting final FDA approval.
Congratulations to Chief Thomas Medwid on his retirement after 27 years of dedicated service to the Lower Salford community!

Great to welcome Elliot Hause to the #PASenate today! Elliot spent the day shadowing me in Harrisburg, attending committee meetings and observing Senate Session. Thank you for joining me at the Capitol, Elliot—I wish you all the best in your future endeavors! @senatormastriano
I`m proud to share that the #PASenate has approved my legislation, Senate Bill 835, to require public schools that display the American flag to also display the POW/MIA flag when space permits.
The POW/MIA flag serves as a powerful reminder of the brave men and women who were prisoners of war or remain missing in action.
The bill now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures across PA! Thank you for your endless love, guidance, and leadership. Enjoy your well-deserved day. 👔✨ #FathersDay
I was pleased to introduce my Summer 2026 district office intern, Jayson Erwin, on the #PASenate floor.
A Schwenksville native and student at Belmont Abbey College, Jayson is passionate about public service and making a difference in his community. We’re grateful to have him on our team this summer and look forward to all he will accomplish!
Last week, I was honored to join the ribbon-cutting celebration for @caminofarms_pa in Barto. Thank you to the Keating family and everyone who helped bring this inspiring, community-driven vision to life.
From supporting students to providing fresh food for local families, Camino Farms is already making a meaningful impact. I look forward to seeing all the great things this incredible organization will accomplish in the years ahead!
I was pleased to join Department of Environmental Protection, local officials, and community leaders in Green Lane Borough to highlight the successful cleanup of the former Cook Technologies site.
This project demonstrates the value of Pennsylvania’s Land Recycling Program (Act 2), which helps transform contaminated properties into productive community assets while protecting public health and the environment.
I was honored to present a #PASenate condolence resolution in memory of Officer Kristen Yeager of the Central Berks Police, who tragically lost her life in the line of duty while responding to an emergency assistance request.
Officer Yeager dedicated her life to serving and protecting others with courage, integrity, and compassion.
Officer Yeager’s legacy of selfless service will endure, and her sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Yesterday, I was honored to recognize Guard & Veterans Day at the Capitol and to introduce Major General Michael Wegscheider.
As we join the nation in celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America, the event highlighted the extraordinary history of the @panationalguard.
Pennsylvania National Guard, which began with Benjamin Franklin’s Associators in 1747.
For nearly 300 years, Pennsylvania’s National Guard and veterans have upheld a proud legacy of service, unity, commitment, and sacrifice in defense of our freedoms and in support of our veterans.
We are grateful for all who continue to serve our Commonwealth and our country.

This week, we proudly honored the women veterans of Pennsylvania whose courage, dedication, and sacrifice have helped defend our nation and strengthen our communities.
Women have served in every generation of our military, often overcoming barriers while answering the call to serve. It was a privilege to recognize their contributions and hear the powerful stories of service, leadership, and resilience that continue to inspire us all.
Thank you to every woman veteran for your service and commitment to our country.
Today, the #PASenate Communications and Technology Committee passed my legislation, Senate Bill 1368, to ban #AI-powered nudification apps from being developed, operated, or made available in Pennsylvania.
These apps can take an innocent photo and create fake nude or sexually explicit images without a person’s consent, causing serious emotional, reputational, and psychological harm, especially to children and young people.
