I had the opportunity to attend a photo opportunity with The Bridge Educational Foundation, where they announced a meaningful investment in local students and families across Berks, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties.
Through the support of WM and funding made possible by Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, $145,500 in scholarship support will help expand educational opportunities for students in our region.
Investments like this make a real difference for families and help ensure more students have access to the educational paths that best fit their needs. 🍎✏️

Lunch at @longacresmoderndairy is always a good idea! 🥗🍴 There is nothing quite like fueling up with a great meal in the heart of our community.
Last week, I sent a letter to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission expressing concerns about PECO’s proposed electric and natural gas rate increases and urging that the filings be carefully reviewed with affordability in mind.
I am pleased to share that @pecoconnect has since announced it is withdrawing its rate review filings before the PUC.
According to PECO, the decision was made in light of continued financial pressures facing families and businesses across our region and a need to prioritize customer affordability.
While many factors are considered in these proceedings, I believe strong public input and regulatory oversight are essential to ensuring utility decisions remain fair and affordable for ratepayers.
I will continue working to ensure the voices of consumers are heard and that affordability remains a top priority in Harrisburg.
Connecting with local leaders is important to me, which is why this week I hosted three Meet and Greet events across the 24th District for new and returning municipal officials. We discussed the real challenges municipalities are facing and reviewed state resources that may help support local initiatives.
I want to thank Perkiomen Township,, Gilbertsville Fire & Rescue Co., and Longswamp Township for hosting these events.
I appreciate the opportunity to meet directly with local officials and hear what matters most in your communities.
I was happy to join Senator Judy Schwank, PA State Rep. Mark Gillen, repfriel, and the keynote speaker, former U.S. Senator Bob Casey at the Schuylkill Highlands Partnership`s Legislative Breakfast to discuss the importance of the Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape, an initiative of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
I appreciate the opportunity to be part of this important conversation and to work alongside colleagues committed to preserving these valuable lands for future generations. 🌳

This week my staff attended @skippack_township’s Board of Supervisors meeting to join @@repmattbradford for a check presentation in celebration of recent grants the Township will be receiving.
Over $1,1,000,000 in state funding will go towards projects that will restore the deteriorating Perkiomen Creek Road Bridge and improve the Township’s existing network of trails. I’m proud to help secure funding for community revitalization efforts such as these.
I wanted to share a quick update on an issue impacting many households across our region.
I recently sent a letter to the @pennsylvania_puc opposing the proposed @pecoconnect rate increases and urging the Commission to reject the company’s filings.
My concern is the continued financial strain these additional increases would place on families, especially following recent rate hikes and reported revenue gains by the company.
I will continue to closely monitor this proposal and advocate for transparency, accountability, and fairness throughout the review process.
Honored to participate in a fireside chat this morning at the Broadband Cable Association of Pennsylvania’s Broadband Summit.
We had a thoughtful discussion on expanding broadband access, strengthening connectivity across rural and urban communities, and how this infrastructure supports economic growth, workforce development, and access to care.
Grateful for the opportunity to engage with industry leaders on these critical issues.
