This week, I hosted a #PASenate Majority Policy Committee hearing focused on how #artificialintelligence is being misused to exploit children.
Law enforcement and child advocates voiced strong support for Senate Bill 1050, which I sponsored with @senatorscottmartinpa and @senatorlisabaker , to require reporting of all child sexual abuse material, including AI-generated images.
We’re working to ensure Pennsylvania’s laws keep pace with technology and protect kids from new forms of online harm.

During Red Ribbon Week, I joined PA State Rep. Milou Mackenzie and @the_schwenkfelder in Pennsburg as @projectlive_upperperk planted bright red tulips at the Schwenkfelder Library and Museum.
The red tulips represent Project Live’s ongoing mission to educate, support, and guide individuals, students, and families toward healthy and positive choices.
Their work continues to make an impact right here in Montgomery County, and each tulip planted stands as a visible reminder of that commitment. 🌷

✈️ PA`s state-owned aircraft play a vital role in public safety & emergency response. This week, the #PASenate adopted SR89, which I introduced to study how these assets are managed and ensure they’re used efficiently, safely, and responsibly.
Happy Halloween! As families head out for trick-or-treating, please watch for children along the roads and use extra caution while driving through neighborhoods.
Stay vigilant and help keep everyone safe for a fun and spooktacular night! 🎃
🚨 Protecting our children in the digital age, Senate Bill 1050 advances to the full #PASenate to combat AI-generated child exploitation. 🚨
📵 Protecting Pennsylvanians from scams and unwanted calls!
The #PASenate just passed Senate Bill 992 with strong bipartisan support to strengthen protections against telemarketers and scammers.
This bill updates our outdated telemarketing law to:
✅ Ban calls (including robocalls) on Sundays and outside the hours of 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
✅ Expand protections to cover text messages, voicemails, and “ringless” voicemails.
✅ Prohibit the use of AI or fake caller IDs to deceive consumers.
