I was very excited to stop by Boyertown Area Fire & Rescue this week to award a $750k grant I secured for their upcoming fire truck purchase. This grant will allow BAFR to replace their aging ladder truck. Connecting local organizations with these vital state resources is among my highest priorities as a legislator. I look forward to continuing my work to support first responders across the 24th Senate District.
I’m thrilled to share that Lower Salford Township has been awarded $510,575 to upgrade the playground equipment at Alderfer Park. This funding comes through the Department of Community and Economic Development’s Local Share Account (Statewide) Grant Program. I’m grateful to have played a role in helping secure this support alongside my colleague PA State Rep. Donna Scheuren, and I look forward to seeing the enhancements made to this valued community space. Township Supervisor Keith Bergman stated: "Alderfer Park is one of our most centrally located and active recreation facilities, and we are proud that we will soon be able to offer an inclusive, ADA-accessible play area where children, and park users, of all abilities can play, explore, and enjoy the outdoors. Even more exciting is that the project will be funded entirely through grants, allowing us to make this exciting improvement at no direct cost to our residents. We are truly grateful to DCED, Representative Scheuren, and Senator Pennycuick for their collective support and look forward to seeing this project vision become a reality for our community by the end of 2027!"
It was great to connect with Johnny Corson and Keith Stevens from Pottstown NAACP recently. We had great a great conversation, and it is always nice to hear directly from community leaders.

On POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the brave men and women who were prisoners of war or who are missing in action. More than 80,000 American service members remain missing from previous conflicts, leaving families with the unimaginable pain of not knowing what happened to their loved ones.
I was honored to partner with my Senate Veteran colleagues, Senators Robinson, Dush, Yaw, Rothman and Mastriano, to reaffirm our commitment to bringing these brave men and women home by introducing Senate Resolution 367.
Today, the POW/MIA flag will fly over the Capitol in Harrisburg as a solemn reminder that their sacrifice must never be forgotten.
Finding scholarships, filling out proper forms and a broad range of college financial aid questions will be answered with upcoming @PHEAAaid webinars. Check out “Financial Aid & FAFSA” here: https://bit.ly/4ysRVYn
This Saturday, September 19, 2026, is Puppy Mill Awareness Day. As someone who has witnessed firsthand the horrible conditions of certain puppy mills throughout our Commonwealth, and as a rescue dog owner, I am a strong supporter of Victoria`s Law, legislation which will drive the Pennsylvania pet market towards more humane sources like shelters, rescues, and responsible breeders.
The Helen O. Krause Animal Foundation will be attending Puppy Mill Awareness Day in Lancaster County, an event bringing together rescues, advocates, and the community to help raise awareness about puppy mills.
